ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


a 


FOREWORD 


N compiling the following pages, we have 
left no stone unturned in our efforts 
to furnish to the St. Louisan and the 

stranger within our gates the most up-to-the-minute, 
comprehensive guide to the city and its diversified points 
of interest and activity that has ever been published. 

Some of the facts contained herein you already know, 
for ours has been a task of compilation rather than one of 
authorship. In this connection, we are greatly indebted to 
the kindness of the Chamber of Commerce, Publicity and 
Convention Bureau, Automobile Club of Missouri, Public 
Library, Division of Parks and Recreation and many other 
organizations who offered their unstinted assistance in 
making "All About St. Louis" a complete index of informa¬ 
tion and interest. 

If the perusal of these pages will give you a better 
understanding and a deeper appreciation of St. Louis and 
the important role which she plays at the crossroads of the 
nation, our purpose will have been accomplished. 

THE PUBLISHERS 












ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


3 



A Tale of Three Cities 

“ The cities are full of pride 
Challenging each to each." 

—Rudyard Kipling. 

Characters— 

A Chicagoan. 

A St. Louisan—who admits it. 

A New Yorker. 

A Momentary Intruder. 

A Dark Gentleman. 

Scene—Smoking room of the Pullman car “Insomnia,” 
bound for St. Louis, somewhere between Indian¬ 
apolis and Terre Haute. 

Time—Any day in the week. 


N. Y.—By Jove, I wouldn’t live in St. Louis on a bet. 
You sizzle and fry all through the summer and go 
to seed during the winter. Give me little old New 
York any day for real enjoyment, real living every 
day of the year. 

Chi.—Yes, while you’re boiling under the collar all 
through July and August, we’ve got a perpetual 
electric fan playing over Chicago and Lake Michi¬ 
gan. 

St. L.—And a perpetual perfume from the vicinity of 
Halstead Street, and a perpetual ice house in win¬ 
ter. Br-r-r. Listen, this chatter about St. Louis 
being an annex to Hades is the bunk. Why, your 
burgs have us cheated on the heat stuff forty ways 
to the jack. Do you know that ten people die of 
heat in your pet parking places to one in St. 
Louis? 

N. Y.—Wow, did you get that “parking place” stuff? 

St. L.—“Parking place” is right. Home life in New 
York and Chicago centers around the old hat rack. 
When you’re back home you live in your stuffy 
pigeon holes that you call apartments just as little 
as possible. Home? It’s just a service station 
for you folks—just a place for shaving, eating and 


trying to sleep. And what have you to show for 
it at the end of the year—just twelve rent receipts 
that would nearly buy you a real home in St. 
Louis. ’S a fact. Do you know that 38 per cent 
of our families own their own homes and that 
every other person averages at least one savings 
account? Believe me, if we’re not ahead of the 
game at the end of the year it’s no fault of the 
landlord. 

Chi.—That’s all very lovely, but what’s the use of hav¬ 
ing an edge in the bank when you have no place 
to go. Why, St. Louis, in the evenings, is as dead 
as old King Tut’s tomb. You have no real places 
of amusement and recreation that can touch the 
theaters in the Loop. 

N. Y.—Or the Hippodrome or the Follies Roof. 

K. C.—Or my town, for example. 

Chi.—Where do you ’tend bar? 

K. C.—I come from Kansas City and nobody in our 
burg goes to seed for want of amusement. Some¬ 
thing doing every night. Write your own ticket. 
Livest little place west of- 

St. L.—St. Louis. You’re right. You have plenty of 
excitement in K. C. all right if you happen to stroll

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


C 


along any street north of Ninth Street any time 
between sunset and sunrise. I’m telling my N. Y. 
friend that the old Bowery was a ladies’ aid so¬ 
ciety for thrillers compared to that part of K. C. 
You’re liable to go out some night to a lodge 
meeting and wake up a member of St. Peter’s 
Heavenly Harp Players. Oh, yes, if you want to 
get to the Pearly Gates in a hurry take any street 
car in K. C. on any icy January day on any hilly 
boulevard. The motormen out there still use the 
brakes, but they don’t mean anything. K. C. is a 
fine town to come from. 

K. C.—This is no place for me. See you later. (Walks 
down aisle.) 

St. L.—But, as I was going to say before our little 
friend spoke his little piece, you fellows make me 
laugh when you talk about amusements in St. 
Louis. You know there are a few other shows 
than road companies of “Way Down East” or 
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” that manage to do business 
in the wilderness west of the Hudson River with¬ 
out going on the rocks. Why, we get all of your 
Broadway successes—and none of your failures— 
regularly, and we pay at the most $2.50 or $3.00 
after you chaps have gambled $5.00 to $8.00 a 
portion on enjoying yourself or being bored to 
tears by a new production. They’ve got to be 
good or else they don’t get a chance to get out of 
New York for St. Louis never was a “dog town” 
in the theatrical world. Any night out near 
Grand and Olive you can see the same movies, 
and a better balanced program of music and spe¬ 
cialty acts, than you see in your cities at twice 
and three times the price. 

N. Y.—That’s all well and good, but you have to 
admit that we lead them all when it comes to 
opera and the better class of music—you know, 
that aesthetic stuff. What have you to offer out 
in your town that can be put in a class with our 
operas and concerts? 

St. L.—Well, our Symphony Orchestra is one of the 
best organizations of its kind in the country—at 
least that’s what a New York critic says. There 
are the concerts throughout the winter season 
given by Metropolitan Opera Company artists. 
And in the summer, we motor out to Forest Park 
and listen to comic opera under the moon and 
stars at our Municipal Open-Air Theater, seating 
ten thousand people. And due to exceptional 
acoustics every note reaches the last row. And 
they play to S. R. O. every performance. Beats 
your Coney Island stuff in summer by a row of 
loop the loops. 

N. Y.—Oh, well, when we need a little change and 
rest we take the wife and kiddies for a week-end 
down to Atlantic City. 

St. L.—Yes, and the waiters get the change and the 
hotels the rest. Speaking of week-ends and vaca¬ 
tions, we drive out to Forest Park and the prob¬ 
lem is solved. Just a little patch of ground of 
1,400 acres with a number of picnic grounds, a 
big zoo, 42 tennis courts, 22 baseball grounds and 
three golf links. There are lagoons for canoeing, 
long serpentine roads for motoring and a big out¬ 


door swimming pool and a big amusement park 
nearby. And during the week there are moon¬ 
light boat trips down the Mississippi where you 
can lounge or dance as you please. And, when 
that two weeks’ vacation rolls around it’s only a 
hop-skip and a jump to the Ozarks—19,000 square 
miles of rugged wood-covered mountains and 
streams teeming with 57 varieties of fish. Here’s 
the spot to get close to nature without getting in 
the hole. I’m speaking of the average man getting, 
say $2,000 or $2,400, a year. 

Chi.—Twenty-four hundred a year. A man with a 
family? Talk sense. 

St. L.—I’m talking sense. They’re bringing up fam¬ 
ilies on that and less and they’re not cooped up in 
dingy flats, nor tenements, like the East Side in 
New York, or the stockyard section of Chicago. 
Our children play with other youngsters of their 
own kind, for 87 per cent of St. Louisans are 
American born. We’ve never been in the melting 
pot stage. We’ve got the best public school sys¬ 
tem in the world—123 grade schools, six public 
high schools, a junior high school—with an enroll¬ 
ment of 100,000. Every year educators and teach¬ 
ers from all points of the globe come to St. Louis 
to study our school system. There are 55 parks 
and playgrounds, covering 5,500 acres, and in the 
warm weather they can always take a dip in two 
of the largest open-air swimming pools of the 
country. They have access to the large free pub¬ 
lic library which maintains ten branches and 60 
stations throughout the city—a storehouse of half 
a million books with an annual circulation of two 
million volumes. Those inclining toward the 
artistic have a perpetual retreat for study at the 
third largest art museum in the country. Students 
of botany can see the flowers of every clime at the 
largest botanical garden in the world, covering 125 
acres. When your boy or girl gets out of high 
school there are Washington and St. Louis Uni¬ 
versities, offering varied courses of instruction. 
We have a trade school second to none for those 
who have a mechanical faculty. And between 
classes they have quite a time, of course, keeping 
the Indians off the campus. 

N. Y.—Oh, well, of course, the James Boys are no 
more. 

Chi.—But I’ll bet there are a lot of their descendants 
without horses that make that twenty-four hun¬ 
dred family budget look sick. 

St. L.—Speaking of sickness, do you know that we’ve 
got less sickness to the square inch in St. Louis 
than any of the big cities. That’s easy. We have 
a lower humidity than either of your two cities 
and that’s the factor that counts for comfort, 
health and working efficiency. We have a pure 
water supply that is directly responsible for the 
lowering of the typhoid death rate from 36 to 2.7 
per 100,000 in the last ten years. We have 875 
miles of sewers that carry off the waste of the 
city and the lowest infant mortality rate 
among any of the metropolitan centers. Why 
shouldn’t we, being right in the heart of an area 
producing 50 per cent of the dairy cattle in the

country. You wonder how we can stretch that 
budget of twenty-four hundred to cover our ex¬ 
penses. Get this. We’re right in the heart of the 
largest food producing section of the world. Right 
here in St. Louis we have the third largest markets 
for groceries, clothing, dry goods and furniture— 
and the second largest in shoe manufacture. De¬ 
duct your jobbing, wholesale and shipping costs 
and you can see how we get by with our little 
twenty-four hundred—yes, and have enough left 
for the flivver and the old sock. 

Chi.—The old sock is right. By Jove, I never did run 
into a real live spender from your town. No hard 
feelings, but St. Louis is the original tightwad 
town. 


St. L.-—Well, if you’re speaking of spreading it on 
thick in a cabaret, you’re right—but when it comes 
to charities and municipal improvements, I beg to 
differ. Listen, we just voted $87,000,000 on a bond 
issue for public improvements and over $1,000,000 
for forty charities in a single week. No, when 
something vital is needed you’ll find that St. 
Louisans have no one-way pockets with fish 
hooks. 

Porter—Last call for dinner in the dining car. 

N. Y.—Well, what is more VITAL just now than 
that? 

Chi.—Second the motion. 

St. L.—Carried. The eats are on me.

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 



THE STATE WE LIVE IN. 

GENERAL FEATURES. 

Missouri has an area of 69,420 square miles, 
and a population recorded in 1920 of 3,404,055, 
being 9th in rank. Including the Mississippi 

River, which bounds it 
on the East, and the 
Missouri River, which 
traverses the center, 
Missouri has nearly 
1,000 miles of navig¬ 
able waterways. 

Its topography is 
varied, the southeast¬ 
ern section consisting 
of low-lying river bot¬ 
tom, the north and 
west consisting mainly 
of upland table, and 
the center and south 
broken by the Ozark 
Mountains. 

Economically, it is 
both agricultural and 
industrial. Manufac¬ 
tures exceed agricul¬ 
ture in value of prod¬ 
ucts, the principal, 
manufactures includ¬ 
ing Meat Packing, 
Flour Milling, Machine 
Making and Foun¬ 
dries. the production 
of Boots and Shoes, Chemicals, Tobacco Prod¬ 
ucts, Paints and Varnishes, with Lumber prod¬ 
ucts also occupying a prominent position. 

Agriculturally, Missouri ranks high. Of its 
total area of 38.000,000 acres, almost 35,000,000 
consist of farms, and of this amount 24,000,000 
acres are improved. Missouri ranks high in the 
production of corn, wheat and oats, and the 
southeastern section is far above the average 
in the per acre production of cotton. 

Missouri is the only self-subsisting state in 
the Union. The northwestern section yields 
enough coal to supply the entire state. Ex¬ 
tending from the southwestern section of the 
state into the southeastern is the greatest lead 
producing section in the world. Next in im¬ 
portance among the minerals are its production 
of zinc, cobalt, nickel and silver. There is 
hardly an article capable of being manufactured 
that is not 
made in this 
state. 

Missouri 
leads the world 
in the manu- 
facture of 
street cars 
and tobacco 
products. It 
ranks second 
in the manu¬ 
facture of lead 
products; fifth 
in shoes; sixth 
in printing and publishing; sixth in flour; and 
seventh in the total value of its manufactured 
products. 

Missouri ranks second in poultry raising. 

Missouri ranks eighth in butter, cheese and 
milk. 

Missouri ranks eighth in total wealth. 

St. Louis ranks fourth in number of manu¬ 
facturing establishments. 

Missouri ranks sixth in wheat. 

Missouri ranks fourth in corn. 

Missouri ranks fifth in number of farms. 

Missouri ranks sixth in value of farm prop¬ 
erty. 

In live-stock production Missouri leads with 
its raising of the Missouri mule, exporting to 
all other states and foreign countries. 

With 4.8 per cent of Negro population, the 
average of illiteracy for the State is 3 per cent 
for all classes; native white percentage, 2; and 
foreign-born, 9.6. 

Although the native-born whites are 88.2 per 
cent, and foreign-born whites only 7, the influx 
of Germans in the revolutionary times of their 
native land in the last century left a large pro¬ 
portion of persons of that blood, especially in St. 
Louis, to this day, those now being practically 
all natives. They have been noted for thrift. 


The schools enroll about 750,000 of a popula¬ 
tion of 3.404,055. The State University at Co¬ 
lumbia, Washington University at St. Louis, 
twelve colleges and seven normal schools are 
the higher institutions. 

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND. 

There seems to be no doubt that the first 
people who lived in our State were a pre-his- 
toric race known as the Mound Builders. Their 
origin is still greatly in doubt, although the 
remains resemble those found in Mlexico. 
Whence they came and whither they went is 
also not known. However, unlike the Indians 
who followed them, they were an agricultural 
people, cultivated fields and left as a-tnonument 
to our civilization a series of over 20,000 mounds, 
varying in height from a few feet to fifty feet 
and in area from a few square feet to several 
acres. It was from these Mound Builders as 
an origin that St. Louis took its name, the 
Mound City, as not far from the corporate limits 
of the present city are found some of the best 
specimens of their work, the trip to these 
mounds being described elsewhere in this book¬ 
let. 

For ages the ancient history of Missouri is a 
blank, until we find this sober, hardworking 
race of mound builders, entirely unwarlike in 
their nature, supplanted by the Indians. 

Seemingly not profiting by the advancement 
of the earlier civilization, the Indians made 
hunting and fishing, not agriculture, their em¬ 
ployment. What little agriculture there was 
was carried on by the women, while the males 
hunted, fished and fought for the protection of 
their homes. 

Such was Missouri when ,the first white man 
saw it, and from one of the tribes of Indians, 
the Missouris, our state took its name. Her¬ 
nando DeSoto in 1541 was the first white man 
to enter Missouri, following the course of the 
Mississippi northward from the present loca¬ 
tion of Memphis to what is now known as New 
Madrid County, and from here westward into 
the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, in his quest 
for the Fountain of Youth and the vast riches 
which the stories of the Indians led him to be¬ 
lieve w'ere to be found in Missouri. 

The French were the first settlers in Missouri, 
forging continually westward and southward 
from the Great Lakes district, influenced by fur¬ 
trading and missionary zeal, Pierre Marquette 
and Joliet exploring part of what is now the 

state of Mis¬ 
souri in 1673. 

In 1763 Pierre 
Laclede built 
the first trad¬ 
ing post in 
Missouri, a few 
miles below 
the mouth of 
the Missouri 
River, this 
trading post 
later taking 
the name of 
St. Louis. The 
following year Auguste Chouteau put up the 
first buildings, and thus began the great city 
of St. Louis. 

THE VARIOUS OWNERS OF MISSOURI. 

The French, as previously mentioned, having 
established the first permanent settlement, first 
owned Missouri, then a part of the territory of 
Louisiana. Later the French and the English 
engaged in a great war for the control of the 
New World, the result of this being that Eng¬ 
land took possession of all that territory east 
of the Mississippi and the Spanish all that west 
of the Mississippi. This was in 1763. Later 
when Napoleon became emperor of France, 
Spain was persuaded to return the territory of 
Louisiana to France, this, of course, including 
Missouri. On March 4, 1804, the United States 
flag was raised in St. Louis as a result of the 
purchase of the whole territory of Louisiana 
from the French whp- needed the money to 
carry on the Napoleonic wars. 

HISTORICAL DATA. 

St. Louis was founded in the spring of 1764, 
by Pierre Laclede Liguest, a Frenchman, and 
his stepson Auguste Chouteau, to whom and 
their associates the Spanish government gave 
a monopoly of trade with the Indians. They 


chose this point because of its advantageous 
position, naming it St. Louis in honor of King 
Louis XV and his patron saint. 

St. Louis was incorporated as a town in 1809 
with a population of about 1800, and as a city 
in December, 18212, with a population of 48001 
It was from St. Louis that a branch of the 
Chouteaus left to es¬ 
tablish Kansas City 
with “Chouteau’s 
Landing’’. Robidoux, 
another St. Louisan, 
established a post, 
which later became St. 

Joseph. 

Between 1830 and 
1850, the population 
was multiplied by ten. 

St. Louis was the 
starting point of many 
pioneering expeditions 
to the West and 
Southwest, contribut¬ 
ing a large majority of 
the greater leaders 
and population o f 
Montana, Utah, Tex¬ 
as and many other 
Western states. 

THE CITY WE LIVE 
IN. 

St. Louis is the chief 
city of Missouri and 
the sixth largest city 
of the United States, and with its suburbs and 
its extensions in Illinois (East St. Louis, St. 
Clair, Madison and Monroe Counties), it is one 
of the great commercial centers of the United 
States, and the most populous industrial center 
of the Mississippi valley. 

St. Louis has an average elevation of 500 
feet above sea level, and 100 feet above the 
Mississippi River, on the west bank of which 
it is situated. 

St. Louis had a population of 772,879 in 1920, 
according to the United States census. These 
figures, however, do it an injustice, for the cor¬ 
porate limits of the city have not been extended 
since 1876, and as later figures will show, be¬ 
yond the western city limits are block on block 
of solid rows of apartments, residences and 
shops, while immediately across the river east¬ 
ward St. Louis is bound to a large and impor-

tant railroad, manufacturing and stockyard cen¬ 
ter. The city is in the peculiar position of 
being surrounded by numerous large and in¬ 
dustrial communities, built up by St. Louis in¬ 
dustries, dominated by St. Louis capital, but 
under separate municipal governments. 

The city fronts for 19 miles along the west 
bank of the Mississippi River, running back 
8 miles, with an area of 64.37 square miles. 
The St. Louis industrial district, however, 
covers 260 square miles, and has a population 
far in excess of 1,000,000. Over 40 million peo¬ 
ple live within 500 miles of St. Louis. 

St. Louis is the most American city of all 
large cities of the United States. According 
to the latest facts of the United States Census 
Bureau, 87 per cent of the city’s population is 
American-born; the foreign-born of New York 
City being 35 per cent, Chicago 30 per cent, 
Boston 32 per cent, Cleveland 29 per cent, De¬ 
troit 29 per cent and St. Louis only 13 per 
cent—this in spite of the fact that St. Louis is 
often referred to as a “foreign” city. 

The history of the founding and development 
of St. Louis reads like a romance. The site of

HISTORICAL ST. LOUIS 

(Continued from page 9.) 

St. Louis was peopled long ago by the Mound 
Builders. Then the Indians, the trappers and 
fur traders, who bickered with the red men and 
created the paths and lanes for the future set¬ 
tlement of the country; the navigators of the 
Mississippi who established the rude settlement 
on the river banks; the early settlers who 
crossed the country in prairie schooners; the 
stage-coach drivers and pony drivers; the pre- 
Civil War slave traders, each had their part in 
the early history of the city. 

Seven miles east of St. Louis stand the his¬ 
toric group of mounds, relics of the ancient 
Mound Builders, including the famous Monks’ 
Mound, said to be the greatest in the world. 
This majestic mammoth of the group is a huge 
earth pyramid 1,080 feet long, 780 feet wide and 
104 feet high, spreading its bulk over 16 acres of 
ground in the shape of a parallelogram with 
terraces at various levels. 

The origin of these mounds has long been 
shrouded in the mists of the incomplete history 
of the early race. Recently, William King 
Moorehead. curator of the Museum of Phillips 
Academy, Andover, Mass., peered for six weeks 
into the mysteries of these great earth piles. 
The result of his archaelogical explorations con¬ 
vinced him that he has settled for all time the 
controversy that has swirled about these weird 
earthworks since first observed by man. 

He found proof that the great group of mounds 
were fashioned by man, and that they probably 
form the site of an ancient city whose popula¬ 


tion ran into the thousands—perhaps of 100,000 
persons—who lived and toiled and disappeared 
long before the beginnings of American chroni¬ 
cles. 

Here came the ancients bringing conch shells 
from the sea, obsidian from the Yellowstone, 
mica from the Eastern mountains, copper from 
the Great Lakes, flint from the Missouri—long 
journeys to the feet of the master artists and 
artisans who were moulding the culture of their 
age. 

Ancient altars of hard-baked clay, surrounded 
by smaller altars, about which were holes in 
which the charred poles of tepees remained, 
remnants of sacrificial and funeral ceremonies, 
pottery, huge agricultural implements of stone, 
arrow heads found in the excavations—bear 
mute testimony to the religious observance apd 
industrious character of the vanished race. 

In these hundred mounds. Moorehead has be¬ 
gun to unfold the story of ‘Cahokia which has 
come down through centuries. He has turned 
only the first pages, but on them he has read 
certain facts which seem to establish the ex¬ 
istence at this point of the kings of the Mound 
Builders, a dynasty which left no hieroglyphics, 
whose history is obscurely told only in the art 
works which survived them. 

THE DAYS OF SLAVERY. 

In the antebellum days slaves were auctioned 
from the east steps of the Old Courthouse, a 
majestic building almost 100 years old. which 
still houses the city's,Circuit Courts. The very 
stone block from which slaves were sold may be 
seen, as well as -the courtroom in which Dred 
Scott’s slavery case for -freedom was begun. 

■The east steps of the courthouse.also provided 


the city’s public whipping post in the days of 
long ago. A granite boulder in the courthouse 
yard marks the starting point of the old Boone’s 
Lick Trail—over which traveled the pioneers to 
the West. This historical old courthouse was 
among the landmarks mentioned in Winston 
Churchill’s novel. “The Crisis.” 

GRANT’S CABIN. 

In the days preceding the Civil War, Ulysses 
S. Grant, who later became a general and then 
President, was a farmer near St. Louis and sold 
wood for a living in the city. The cabin in 
which he lived, built of logs by Grant with 
his own hands, stood on an 80-acre tract which 
his father-in-law had given to his wife. Grant 
bestowed upon it the name of "Hardscrabble,” 
probably indicative of his hard struggle for a 
livelihood in his early days in St. Louis. 

The cabin stands today about a mile and a 
half from its original site near the main en¬ 
trance to the country place of a wealthy St. 
Louisan, which is called the Grant Farm. The 
cabin was removed, log for log, and exhibited 
at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (St. Louis 
World’s Fair), and with the same care was re¬ 
placed at its present location. 

In the house are many relics of historic con¬ 
nection with the man who could not farm but 
who could tell men how to fight. The cabin is 
surrounded by a fence built of rifle barrels col¬ 
lected from battlefields of the Civil War. 

A house at Fourth and Cerre streets in which 
Grant was married to Miss Julia Dent still 
stands. Another at 209 South Fourth street 
contains the room in which Grant had his law 
office during the period in which he unsuccess¬ 
fully sought a law practice.

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


( 


St. Louis—“The Old City with a New Spirit” 

By FRANCIS E. TURIN 

St. Louis Convention, Publicity and Tourist Bureau 


Over a century and a half ago, Pierre Laclede 
Liguest, a Frenchman to whom the Spanish 
Government had given a monopoly of the trade 
with the Indians, and his stepson, Auguste 
Chouteau, established their trading post and 
called it St. Louis. This was in 1764. The 
trading post soon grew into a village—the out¬ 
post of civilization. 

The little village grew rapidly and soon was 
incorporated as a city and now it is one of the 
leading cities of the United States and the 
Metropolis of a great valley. 



St. Louis—The city surrounded by the United 
States! Picture in your mind the largest in¬ 
land city of the nation, standing at the cross¬ 
roads of trade; a city that has had a rebirth 
of spirit since the war; a rapidly growing 
sprawling metropolis that, like another Rip Van 
Winkle, is suddenly awaking after decades of 
conservatism. 

St. Louisans Work Together 

The war taught the business men to work 
together. The city’s war record is a proud one. 
In the war drives and the Liberty Loan drives 
and the campaigns and the other phases of 
war-time activities the city was ever to the 
fore, more than once first “over the top’’—that 
much used phrase—in the subscription of its 
quota. 

Missouri—Self-Supporting 

It has long been said that Missouri could 
build a fence along her borders and support 
her natives without calling on the outside for 
assistance. Without a doubt, particular care 
would be taken to see to it that the fence 
included the metropolis of the state on the 
eastern border—St. Louis. 

St. Louis-Financially 

Laclede and Chouteau carried their banks 
on their backs, or in their canoes, and trade 
was maintained with the Indians through gaudy 
trinkets, beads and whatnots, as well as with 
the necessities of life and luxuries which had 
been brought from the eastern civilization. 
What a comparison with our modem business 
methods and banks! St. Louis banks have com¬ 
bined resources of over $500,000,000.00 and proj¬ 
ects do not come too small or too big for them. 

The government recognized the importance of 
the St. Louis district and not so long ago 
awarded a Federal Reserve and Federal Land 
Bank to the city. Through this award St. 
Louis became the only city in the United States 
with such Federal Bank strength. 

Centrally Located 

The strategic position oocuped by St. Louis 
is better realized by the knowledge that it is 
just about midway between the center of pop¬ 
ulation, a short distance east of St. Louis and 
the geographical center of the United States, 
a short distance west of St. Louis. It is located 
on the Mississippi River, in the center of the 
Mississippi Valley, and is a railroad center of 
first importance, with twenty-five steam rail¬ 
roads and four electric lines, of which the Illi¬ 
nois Traction System is the largest, this latter 
also being the most important electric system 
in the United States. 

By reason of its proximity to the geographical 
center of the United States, it necessarily fol¬ 
lows that St. Louis can be more easily and 
more quickly reached from all parts of the 
United States than any other city, without a 
single exception. 

St. Louis is an ideal central point for fabrica¬ 
tion in transit. By this is meant the moving 
of raw materials in the direction of the ulti¬ 


mate market, selecting a manufacturing point 
en route where the materials can be combined 
with fuel, labor and transportation and then 
sent broadcast to the consumer. 

The Mississippi Valley, in which St. Louis is 
the principal city and logical central market, 
is the main producing area of the United States. 
It contains the following percentage of the 
total production of the entire country: 

70 per cent of the acreage in farms. 

65 per cent of the farm values. 

76 per cent of the wheat production. 

72 per cent of the live stock. 

85 per cent of the com production. 

74 per cent of the cattle. 

52 per cent of the sheep. 

81 per cent of the hogs. 

70 per cent of the cotton. 

55 per cent of the wool. 

69 per cent of the petroleum. 

47 per cent of the lumber. 

60 per cent of the bituminous coal. 

The tremendous outturn of crops in the Mis¬ 
sissippi Valley—the great food producing sec¬ 
tion of the St. Louis trade territory—is after 
all, just so much toll directed toward the crea¬ 
tion of real wealth, and means maximum pur¬ 
chasing power, with resulting better homes, 
greater home comforts, better farm equipment 
and conveniences, an automobile and a reserve 
of savings. 

It is to supply this market to provide for the 
ceaseless western aspiration for more and bet¬ 
ter homes that keeps St. Louis business con¬ 
stantly expanding and inviting new industries. 

The millions of dollars of business done an¬ 
nually in this great St. Louis trade territory 
offers an additional outlet for a mid-west fac¬ 
tory output. The manufacture of food prod¬ 
ucts or commodities required in the daily needs 
of 50,000,000 people will find a prolific market 
in this great mid-west business tributary to 
St. Louis. 

No other industrial market in the country can 
compare with St. Louis’ distribution facilities 
for reaching this prolific buying power. 

The Mississippi Valley territory produces 50 
per cent or more of the nation’s export com¬ 
merce. St. Louis, in the heart of this great 
inland empire, connects it by strong and numer¬ 
ous rail and river routes with the gulf, in the 
direction of empty railroad car movement. 

St. Louis is modern in office buildings, hotels, 
beautiful parks, and has many of the finest 
homes in the country, and at the same time 
is older than the United States and rich in 
romantic tradition. 

The city spreads over 6214 square miles of 
territory and is within a night’s ride of over 
50 , 000,000 people. 


City of Homes 

Over 37 per cent of the city’s inhabitants are 
home owners, and the residential districts of 
St. Louis are among the most beautiful in the 
United States. 

The four bridges which span the Mississippi 
River at St. Louis including the Municipal Free 
Bridge, which is the largest double-deck steel 
span bridge in the world, are valuable assets 
and sights visitors should see. The Free 
Bridge and approach are two miles long. 


Twenty-Six Railroads to “Everywhere” 

Twenty-six railroads run through St. Louis 
to “everywhere’’ and the Mississippi offers op¬ 
portunities for waterway transportation to Mis¬ 
sissippi Valley points and gulf ports. The un¬ 
usual combination of rail and water facilities 
without doubt make St. Louis the great central 
gateway to the Mississippi Valley, Middle West 
and the South and Southwest. The shipping 
facilities of the city extend in all directions 
with a clear sweep to the marts of the world 
and plainly indicate the supreme position held 
by St. Louis in the business of the nation. 

The 124 grade schools, six public high schools, 
teachers’ college and the junior high school offer 


additional pleasure to those who enjoy inspect¬ 
ing buildings of this character. 

Recreation 

If you are a lover of the great outdoors you 
will be interested in the parks of which there 
are over 2,700 acres. Forest Park, with its 
rolling woodlands, fast developing zoo, with the 
world’s largest bird cage, municipal golf links 
and tennis courts that are artificially lighted, 
making them available for use at night as 
well as day; gridirons, baseball diamonds, soccer 
fields and boats and canoes on the lagoons 
afford maximum opportunity for the enjoyment 
of outdoor sports. In this park youi will find 
the Art Museum which is the fourth finest in 
the country, as well as the Jefferson Memorial 
with its statue of Thomas Jefferson, by Bitter. 
On Art Hill you will find the heroic statue of 
Saint Louis, by Niehaus, where at the base was 
enacted one of the most historic ceremonies in 
modern times when the French Legion, on its 
visit here, dipped its colors for the second time 
in history and honored St. Louis as no other 
city in the world has been honored. 

If you are a golf player, the municipal 
eighteen-hole golf course at Forest Park is the 
best all-the-year-round golf course in the 
United States. There is also a nine-hole course 
and a midnight sprinkling system is used so that 
the greens are not wet for the early morning 
golfers. The course covers more than a mile 
from the east to the west, and takes in the 
highest and lowest points in Forest Park. In 
addition to the Municipal Golf Links there are 
many courses at various clubs. And, if you 
journey out to Forest Park you should view the 
only Municipal Open Air Theatre in the world 
where operas are shown to the delight of visitors 
to St. Louis and its citizens. The theatre seats 
10,000 people and is built entirely of concrete. 
The great stage is set in the natural wood¬ 
lands of the park. Volumes have been written 
in paying tribute to St. Louis for its work 
along this line and you will do well to visualize 
the scene of activities. 

Incidentally, pay a visit to the Old Court 
House, the oldest of St. Louis’ public build¬ 
ings, work on the building having been started 
in 1839 and completed in 1862, at cost of about 
$1,000,900. The building is considered by ex¬ 
perts to be a splendid example of historical 
structure with fine architectural qualities, and 
is located at Chestnut and Market Street, 
between Fourth Street and Broadway and is 
in the form of a Greek Cross and of Doric 
order of architecture. The building was made 
historic by the slave sales which took place 
on its steps during the Civil War, and also 
the whipping post was located on this site 
during the early days of St. Louis. The mag¬ 
nificent frescoes in the dome were done by 
Carl Wimer, in 1862, a St. Louis artist of note, 
and they were restored by Edmund H. Wuer- 
pul during the World’s Fair in St. Louis in 
1904, and are again being restored at this 
time of writing. 

The Missouri Botanical Garden (Shaw’s Gar¬ 
den) is the second largest garden in the 
world; it is the largest in America. Only the 
Royal Gardens at Kew, England, excel it. The 
garden covers approximately 125 acres of 
ground and collections from plant life of the 
world are cultivated by experts at one of Na¬ 
ture’s Beauty Spots. The garden is one of 
the show places of St. Louis and visitors are 
always welcome. 

The old city with a new spirit has gradually 
grown great in many things. Today, St. Louis 
is a buying and fashion center—a leader among 
the world marts, in addition to claiming great¬ 
ness in industrial development. The city ac¬ 
tually rivals Paris in styles in various ready- 
to-wear lines. 


St. Louis a “Home” City 

St. Louis is a “home” city and its people 
are God loving and God Fearing. The houses 
of worship here are distributed throughout the 
entire city and run the gamut from old and 
quaint to new, modem and splendid. 

“The next best thing to living in St Louis 
is to be a frequent visitor.” So says our 
Mayor.

SKETCH OP PROPOSED CIVIC CENTER.

St. Louis Plans for the Future 


Here on the banks of the Father of Waters, in 
the midst of the agricultural section and the popu¬ 
lation center of the United States, has sprung up 
the metropolis of this great area. By leaps and 
bounds St. Louis constantly has forged ahead and 
now, this great expansion has reached a point 
where, in some instances, facilities have been in¬ 
sufficient to cope with increased demands. 

St. Louisans recognized this and, looking into 
the future only a few years, it was discerned that 
to keep pace with St. Louis’ growth, a city planned 
in a modern way, with all of the adjuncts of such a 
place, must be brought into being. 

The gigantic municipal improvement and de¬ 
velopment program necessary now has been made 
possible by St. Louisans going to the polls and 
voting for a bond issue of almost $88,000,000. 
Work already has started to bring into reality 
within a comparatively short time the many im¬ 
provements decided upon and here, soon, upon the 
site of the old St. Louis, with all of its natural 
advantages, soon will stand the New St. Louis, the 
Miracle City of America. 

A modern street and boulevard plan, by which 
traffic congestion in the downtown districts will 
be alleviated, making it possible to go from one 
end of the city to another within a comparatively 
short time, has been worked out and surveys are 
being made for its inauguration. Along some of 
the boulevards parkways will be installed and 
groupings of beautiful public buildings will be 
erected. This plan, when it is in effect completely, 
along with other attributes of like nature which St. 
Louis now has, will make this city the most beauti¬ 
ful in America. 

St. Louis’ water supply faces no likelihood of 
diminishing, due to the setting aside of $12,000,000 
for additions to the present plant. This city has 
always had water in abundance for every need, but 
in order to supply increasing demand more pump¬ 
ing stations are being provided and for the next 
several decades a maximum water supply will be 
had for every purpose. 

An engineering feat of some proportions, the 
preliminary work of which already has begun, will 
place a rivulet near the western limits of the city 
within a closed sewer and here, where the stream 
once flowed, hundreds of acres of highly desirable 
manufacturing sites will be thrown open. All of 


these sites are conveniently located. This work 
was made necessary primarily by the great demand 
for such sites on the part of out-of-town manu¬ 
facturers who desired to locate their plants here 
and realize on the natural advantages of St. Louis, 
and the lack, to a great degree, of desirable loca¬ 
tions for manufacturing establishments. 

Additions to the present City Hospitals and 
Sanitariums also have been made possible 
through the Bond Issue. There are other items in 
the plans for various additional features which will 
make for happier, fuller living in St. Louis and 
which touch upon the lives of citizens and all of 
the various angles of the city’s progress in every 
way. There are to be additional parks and play¬ 
grounds and improvements of the existing chain 
of such places, comparable with those of any large 
city now; a great Community Center will be erected, 
where St. Louisans, who work and play together 
in a co-operative spirit to be found in few other 
places, may hold their community gatherings from 
time to time, and where conventions, which come 
here to the “Convention City” will be housed. 

These great additional advantages are only a 
part of the things that are being brought to pass 
through the solidarity of our citizenship, working 
together toward a common end—the advancement 
of St. Louis. Even now, the first step has been 
taken in the setting aside of approximately $16,- 
000,000 by railroads entering St. Louis, for a series 
of modern freight and passenger terminals that 
will expedite the movement of trains in and out 
of the city and make the system here one of the 
best in the world. The ultimate cost of putting 
these terminals in effect as they have been planned 
will be about $100,000,000. 

We have found, here in St. Louis, that by work¬ 
ing together, Herculean tasks can be made com¬ 
paratively simple by unified action of the people 
and, henceforth, watch St. Louis’ growth. Many 
dreams for this magnetic city of the Middle West 
now have come true, but there are many others 
awaiting fulfillment and, with the new spirit that 
has evinced itself, St. Louis will forge rapidly 
and constantly ahead to the place in the sun that 
has been predicted for her—that of the third largest 
city of the world. 

If not a citizen, come to St. Louis and plan and 
grow with us. Assuredly, it will be well worth 
while.

20 . Construction and reconstruction of public markets. 1,250,000 

21. New Waterworks on Missouri River (to be paid for out of 

Water Division Revenue. 12,000,000 


STREETS: The city will spend $8,650,000 for establishing, opening 
and widening streets. The chief item, $3,355,345, will be spent to widen 
Market street from 60 to 100 feet from Third and Walnut streets to Van- 
deventer avenue, thus providing an imposing highway east and west from 
Union Station. 

Twelfth boulevard w'ill be created as a continuous highway, 100 feet 
wide for most of its length, from the new industrial district in the north¬ 
west to Gravois avenue in the southwest. 

Kingshighway boulevard will be completed from Penrose Park on the 
north to Bellerive Park on the south. 

Olive street will be widened from 60 to 100 feet from Twelfth boule¬ 
vard to Channing avenue. 

Lindell boulevard will be widened to 100 feet from Channing to Grand. 

An imposing traffic circle to serve as a beautiful entrance to Forest 
Park will be constructed at Lindell boulevard. 

The major street plan also includes the widening of 15 other streets 
and the construction of cut-offs on or the extensions of 10 other streets. 

NEW WATERWORKS: The present city water plant, which is reach¬ 
ing the limit of its capability to supply an increasing demand, pumping 
water from the Mississippi River, will be augmented by a new plant on the 
Missouri River, for which voters provided $12,000,000. 

The plant proper, which it is proposed to erect at Howard’s Bend, 
several miles above St. Charles and one mile w'est of Hine Station, on the 
Rock Island Railroad, St. Louis County, will cost $3,777,000. The remainder 
of this bond item will be for equipping the plant, supply mains and right- 
of-way through the county, a 100 , 000 , 000 -gallon reservoir, service mains 
and contingencies. Engineers calculate there will be a gravity flow to all 
parts of St. Louis from this reservoir, located on ground owned by the city 
on Strattman Hill, near the Olive street road. 

The plant probably will have an initial pumping capacity of 60,000,000 
gallons of water a day, to be increased to 160,000,000 by 1945. The maxi¬ 
mum possible capacity of the Chain of Rocks plant is 160,000,000 gallons 
a day. Payment of the interest and principal of this $12,000,000 portion 
of the bond issue will be made solely from Water Department revenue. 
It is calculated that this can be done without an increase in water rates. 

UNION STATION PLAZA: The city will acquire and tear down the 
buildings occupying the two blocks fronting Union Station, bounded by 
Market street. Chestnut street, Eighteenth and Twentieth streets, and will 
convert the ground into a plaza, thus presenting a clean, attractive door- 
yard to the visitor. 

STREET PAVING: The sum of $5,800,000 will be expended in paving 
the widened and new streets authorized in the first item and in replacing 
wornout paving on other streets. 

LIGHTING: The antiquated gas lamps now furnishing the chief il¬ 
lumination of the city will be replaced with a city-wide, modern electric 
lighting system, costing $ 8 , 000 , 000 . 

A NEW COURTHOUSE: The 71-year-old civil courthouse on Broad¬ 
way will be devoted to some other use and a new building fronting on 
the Memorial Plaza and tying in with the City Hall and the Municipal 
Courts Building, will be erected at a cost of $4,000,000. 

SEWERS: The sanitary system of the city will be placed in first-class 
condition, capable of serving all sections adequately by the expenditure 
of $19,000,000. Of this sum, $11,000,000 is to remove from Forest Park 
the stench of the River des Peres and to check floods. The river will be 
enclosed from the point it enters the city at Hodiamont avenue to the 
point it emerges from Forest Park at Macklind avenue. For the remainder 
of its course to the Mississippi, the Des Peres will be given a storm chan¬ 
nel to carry off heavy rains and beneath it a sewer w T ill be constructed. 
The remainder of the $19,000,000, or $8,000,000, will be used to extend 
sewers to districts not now served and to reconstruct old sewers now a 
menace to public health and safety. 

•NEW PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS: The city will be enabled to 
maintain its boast of the most extensive public recreational facilities and 
activity of any American city, by the extension of its parks and play¬ 
grounds system in the expenditure of $3,800,000. This will include the 
purchase of new land with $ 1 , 000,000 and the expenditure of the remainder 
in equipping the new parks and expanding the facilities of those parks 
already established. The items include four new swimming pools and 
bath houses. 

AQUARIUM: Comrtiissions from various cities have visited the Forest 
Park Zoo to obtain and adapt ideas from what they have appraised as the 
best-planned zoo in the United States. The fame of this institution now 
will be enhanced by the addition of an aquarium to cost $400,000. 

POWER HOUSE, GARAGE AND LAUNDRY: There will be $1,000,000 
for the erection of this plant, for an economical concentration of necessary 


functions of city departments. It is proposed to erect this building on the 
site of the old Four Courts, Twelfth street, between Clark avenue and 
Spruce street. Engineers estimate that its operation will result in a sav¬ 
ing of $100,000 to $150,000 a year over the cost of running present scat¬ 
tered plants. 

The plant will generate electricity for power and lights for the city 
hall, Municipal Courts Building, city jail and children’s building, all lo¬ 
cated inside the four square blocks of City Hall Park, and for Police 
Headquarters, the new Courthouse and Morgue to be built near the munici¬ 
pal group, and the city hospital. Current for the existing buildings, except 
the hospital, is now provided in an old plant in the city hall basement. 

Six automobile and fire apparatus repair shops will be combined in 
this building. The Street Department paint shop will be placed there. 
The laundry will replace with modern equipment the smaller plants at the 
city hospital, city infirmary and workhouse. The estimated cost of the 
plant is $993,760, but, as it will release for other uses or sale property 
valued at $529,878, it will cost in reality less than $500,000. 

EXTENSION OF HOSPITAL FACILITIES: Voters provided $4,500,000 
to increase city facilities for the care and cure of the afflicted and sick 
who have not the means to care for themselves. This means that over¬ 
crowding of hospitals will be ended, the fight against tuberculosis will be 
strengthened, negro unfortunates will be cared for on a more equable basis, 
conditions at the city sanitarium, where the insane are confined, that have 
been termed “disgraceful," will be changed; the antiquated morgue will be 
replaced, and delinquent boys and girls will receive better care. 

The subdivisions of this item are: Enlargement of Koch Hospital, for 
the tubercular, south of Jefferson Barracks, $500,000; additions to the city 
hospital, $ 1 , 000 , 000 ; new hospital for negroes, $ 1 , 200 , 000 ; additions to city 
sanitarium, $760,000; additional building or buildings at the Isolaton Hos¬ 
pital, $250,000; new morgue, $140,000, probably to be erected on or near 
site of present morgue, on old Four Courts lot; manual training schools 
at Bellefontaine Farm for Boys, $50,000; buildings on Meramec Hills, the 
new farm for delinquent girls, near Valley Park, $100,000; enlargement of 
the Municipal Farm for the Feeble-Minded, north of Baden, $500,000. Pur¬ 
chase of land is contemplated in connection with some of these plans. 

In the bond issue of 1920, $68,000 was provided for a morgue, but 
being an inadequate sum, was not spent; the two funds will be combined 
for the new building. The Farm for the Feeble-Minded was acquired 
through the 1920 bond issue, but the need for enlarging it has arisen. 

MUNICIPAL AUDITORIU3I: The long-felt w r ant for a structure of 
this type will be fulfilled by the $5,000,000 of bonds voted for a Municipal 
Auditorium and Community Center. It is felt that this will constitute a 
nation-wide advertisement of St. Louis. Its purposes were described in the 
item on the ballots, as follows: "To be used for the holding of public 
meetings, gatherings and conventions, for discussion of public questions, 
including matters submitted to the people under the referendum or the 

initiative, and to provide suitable meeting places for educational, moral, 

musical, industrial, labor and other purposes. 

It is probable that the building may be erected on the double block 
bounded by Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Market streets and Clark avenue, 
though among other sites considered is one comprising two city blocks, 
bounded by Eighteenth, Twentieth, Chestnut and Pine streets. The former 
site would locate the auditorium as a part of the civic center of which the 

city hall is the nucleus, while the latter would have it facing Union 

Station across the plaza to be created. It is intended that the auditorium 
shall have seats for 15,000 to 20,000 persons, with smaller rooms for small 
gatherings. 

MEMORIAL PLAZA: Realization of the dream of a city beautiful 
will be fulfilled in part by the creation of a downtown plaza, for which 
$5,000,000 for the purchase of ground, is provided, and on which a memorial 
building or monument commemorating the deeds of Missourians in the 
world war will be erected. An additional $1,000,000 is provided for the 
memorial. Roughly, the plan provides for the acquisition of the land 
between Market and Pine streets, Twelfth boulevard and Fifteenth street, 
and between Pine, Olive, Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. This entire 
tract may not be taken. The idea is to make a parkway between the Civic 
Center group on the south side of Market street and the Public Library, 
which has the background of Lucas Garden, on Locust street. Records of 
Missouri soldiers in the war will be preserved in the memorial. 

FIRE ENGINE HOUSES AND APPARATUS: Motorization of the Fire 
Department appapratus will be completed by the item of $772,500 for this 
department, which also provides for a new engine house in Southampton 
and reconstruction or replacement of nine existing engine houses. There 
wdll be $487,500 of this sum for motor equipment, including 30 pumping 
engines. The department is 75 per cent motorized at present, and horse- 
drawn equipment is much slower than the motorized in responding to 
alarms. Maintenance cost of automobiles is much lower than of horses, 
Chief Panzer figures. In the 1920 bond issue there was an item of $300,000 
for improvement of the Fire Department. 

ELIMINATION OF GRADE CROSSINGS: Continuation of the city’s 
program for the eventual elimination of all railroad grade crossings here, 
as a safety measure, is provided for in an item of $1,600,000. The provi¬ 
sions under this item are: 

Viaduct at Kingshighway over Oak Hill tracks of Missouri Pacific, 
$155,000; viaduct at Shaw avenue over Oak Hill tracks, $80,000; viaduct at 
Kingshighway over Terminal Railroad tracks, $65,000; eliminating grade 
crossing of Wabash Railroad with Sarah, Boyle, Newstead and Taylor 
avenues, $250,000; raising Missouri Pacific tracks at Southwest avenue, 
$50,000; eliminating various grade crossings of Oak Hill tracks between 
Carondelet Park and Kingshighway, $310,000; eliminating various grade 
crossings of Oak Hill tracks between Reilly avenue and Carondelet Park, 
$280,000; viaduct over Frisco Railroad and River des Peres valley at Fyler 
avenue, $90,000; viaduct over Frisco at Southwest avenue, $230,000. 

FREE BRIDGE APPROACHES: The Municipal, Bridge, which has 
not reached its original goal of defeating the freight arbitrary that taxes 
St. Louis industry, will be equipped with eastern and western bank connec¬ 
tions w r ith railroad and belt lines, which will tend to strengthen the city’s 
position in its time-old battle to defeat the arbitrary. 

PUBLIC MARKETS: The old buildings housing four public markets 
of St. Louis—Union, Biddle, Soulard and South—-will be replaced with 
modern, sightly buildings, designed to provide maximum sanitation. Thou¬ 
sands of St. Louis housewives now go to these markets.

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


Extension of the City Limits 

By HUGH K. WAGNER 

President of Greater St. Louis Conference and Million Population Club 


In 1764 the limits of the town of St. Louis were Fourth 
street on the west, Chouteau avenue on the south, and 
Franklin avenue on the north. In 1822, St. Louis was in¬ 
corporated by the state legislature as a city and the limits 
were extended to Seventh street on the west, Rutger street 
on the south, and Biddle street on the north. The limits 
of 1841 were about Eighteenth street on the west (in some 
places Thirteenth street and in north St. Louis Second 
street), St. George street on the south, and Dock street on 
the north. The limits of 1855 were Spring avenue on the 
west, Keokuk street on the south, and the vicinity of Bis- 
sell’s Point on the north. In 1870 the town of Carondelet 
was annexed, extending the limits to their present southern 
extremity and prolonging the western city limits south¬ 
wardly on a line with the present Grand avenue. By virtue 
of the 1875 constitution and the 1876 scheme of separa¬ 
tion from St. Louis county and the 1876 charter of St. 
Louis city, the area of St. Louis was more than doubled 
and the city limits fixed as they have remained ever since 
and as they now are. 

In the days when water transportation was at its height 
before the railroads, the location of St. Louis at the con¬ 
fluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers and not far 
from the mouth of the Ohio river and commanding the 
Mississippi valley, which constitutes about two-thirds of 
the United States and which is the largest and most fertile 
river valley in the world, caused St. Louis to receive the 
appellation “The Future Great City.” The rise of the 
railroads and their practical monopoly of inland transpor¬ 
tation for several decades minimized for a time the advan¬ 
tage to St. Louis of her incomparable geographic location. 
It is now conceded that the waterways will prove the 
needed solution of inboard conveyance, in conjunction with 
the railroads and motor trucks and airplanes. For all these 
modes of transportation, St. Louis will ever be practically 
the geographic center of the country and increasingly the 
approximate center of population. 

With such an unrivaled position, St. Louis must plan 
for the future, and, in a civic sense, build well and perma¬ 
nently. It must take stock of its opportunities and visual¬ 
ize its destiny. 

Those who in 1875 thought that the limits of the city 
adopted in 1876 would never he outgrown and might pos¬ 
sibly never be reached by the growth of the city have 
been shown by events to have been shortsighted. The lead¬ 
ers of the present day must be better prophets; they must 
have a larger vision. They must by a suitable bond issue 
provide docks and warehouses and terminals for a revived 
use of the rivers and for interchange of freight with the 
railroads. They must look forward to the time when the 
Meramec river shall be utilized for commerce and industry 
in GREATER ST. LOUIS in the same manner as the Chi¬ 
cago river is turned to account in that industrial center. 
The Meramec river is more of a stream today than the 
Chicago river was when the wisdom of the people of Chi¬ 
cago caused them to begin the industrial, commercial, and 
marine use of the Chicago river, which use has been one 


of the most important factors in making Chicago one of 
the largest manufacturing and commercial cities and ports 
in this country. 

The people of the present day need to realize that all of 
St. Louis county and St. Louis city constitute together one 
community, having genuine unity of interest. At this 
auspicious time they should be merged into one govern¬ 
mental unit, having for the total area comprising both as 
much of state and county government as the city of St. 
Louis now has and extending the benefit of the present 
form of St. Louis city government to the outer boundaries 
of St. Louis county. 

This will enable proper and wise city planning. For this 
purpose it will be unnecessary to create any new board or 
commission, but the present official body known as the City 
Plan Commission is equipped with data applying to St. 
Louis county as well as St. Louis city and their environs 
suitably to plan for the whole. In such plans the prin¬ 
ciples of zoning will be applied, which is a modern device 
for preventing economic waste and stabilizing real estate 
values and for improving the sanitation of populous areas 
and otherwise protecting health, life, and social welfare. 
Haphazard real estate platting will be prevented. The 
wasteful construction of local sewers, streets, and other tem¬ 
porary public improvements will be prevented. Billions 
of dollars will be saved to the combined St. Louis com¬ 
munity by the avoidance of unwise construction and 
reconstruction. 

The merger of all of St. Louis county with the present 
city of St. Louis into this GREATER ST. LOUIS at this 
time and the combined wise planning and combination of 
strength and advantages will save the city of St. Louis 
one hundred and fifty years of stunted and thwarted 
growth and development and will give this generation par¬ 
ticipation in the benefits that arise from residence in a wide¬ 
awake and progressive community, one that has evidenced 
forethought for the future, one in which beautification is 
perfected on a large scale, and one in which civic needs 
is the thought and desire of all the population. Without 
this extension of the city limits at the present time, the 
health menace from the River Des Peres will increase by 
geometrical progression. The urge of the small towns in 
St. Louis county will force them into economically-speaking 
bad arrangements for water supply and other public utili¬ 
ties. The sewerage problem will grow in intensity. Pesti¬ 
lence may result, which will know no arbitrary and imag¬ 
inary lines like city limits. 

If St. Louis city and St. Louis county now combine, the 
advertising value to the St. Louis community will at once 
be attained of restoring the name of St. Louis to its right¬ 
ful rank among American cities. With the eclat therefrom 
arising and from the advancement of St. Louis as a city 
of recent great accomplishment and a community of ener¬ 
getic far-seeing people, more population and more indus¬ 
tries will be drawn to this center as by a magnet, and St. 
Louis will immediately be well upon its way as one of the 
greatest cities of the earth in all time.

Railroads and Terminals Improvement 


In arriving at the conclusions and recommendations enumer¬ 
ated below, the committee has endeavox-ed to foresee and pro¬ 
vide for the transportation needs of the St. Louis-East St. Louis 
Industi’ial District for a long period of years. Consequently the 
improvements contemplated by the recommendations are very 
extensive and cannot be consummated at once, nor in a short 
period of time. Some of the improvements should be undertaken 
immediately, others may not be required for several years. The 
improvements are so extensive that they must necessarily be 
extended over a considerable period of yeai-s. 

It is most important, however, that the various affected in¬ 
terests agree upon definite plans and methods and that there¬ 
after those plans and methods should be the goal toward which 
all improvements are directed. No step should be taken that 
would conflict with them. 

The principal of unification as applied to the St. Louis and 
East St. Louis terminals has been retained, as far as econom¬ 
ically practicable, in reaching the conclusions and recommenda¬ 
tions expressed herein. Passenger traffic is already unified. 

The committee recommends the complete unification of the 
classification and interchange of cars which constitutes approx¬ 
imately 85 per cent of the freight traffic. 

The committee recommends that each railroad continue to 
serve the territory local to its own terminals in the St. Louis- 
East St. Louis Industrial District. 

Passenger trains should, with the exception of the Wabash 
trains that use Delmar Station, be removed from the Merchants 
Bridge and from the congested freight terminals in North St. 
Louis. 



EADS BRIDGE. 

The Eads Bridge and tunnel should be abandoned for rail¬ 
road traffic. 

The Municipal Bridge should be provided with approaches 
and connections at the following points: 

Eighth and Gratiot streets, St. Louis; 

South approach to South St. Louis; 

North approach to Relay Depot in East St. Louis; 

North and south connections at Valley Junction, East St. 
Louis; 

Twenty-ninth street. East St. Louis. 

Passenger trains transferred from the Merchants and Eads 
bridges should be rerouted over the Municipal Bridge. 

The Municipal Bridge should be used for such freight as can 
be handled over it more expeditiously than over other Missis¬ 
sippi River crossings. 

The cities of St. Louis and East St. Louis and the railroads 
should negotiate for the exchange of the use of the Eads and 
Municipal bridges to accomplish the following: 

(a) Upper decks of both bridges to be used for highway 
traffic free from toll; 

(b) Lower deck of Municipal Bridge to be used for traffic 
of all railroads; 

(c) Lower deck of Eads Bridge to be used for street rail¬ 
way and interurban traffic; 

(d) The Eads Bridge and tunnel to be abandoned for steam 
railroad service. 

The McKinley Bridge has the capacity for handling a great 
deal more freight than at present. This bridge should be pro¬ 
vided with additional approaches and connections with the 
tracks of the city of St. Louis and Terminal Railroad Associa¬ 
tion in Hall street, St. Louis, with the tracks of the Wiggins 
Ferry, the C. & A. and the Southern Belt at Venice, and with the 
tracks of the Terminal Railroad Association and other lines 
north and east of Madison yard. 

The communities on both sides of the river should negotiate 


with the owners of the McKinley Bridge for the elimination of 
tolls on the highway roadways. 

Passenger trains using the Municipal Bridge should follow 
elevated routes through the congested freight terminals in the 
vicinity of Relay Depot, East St. Louis, connecting with surface 
ti'acks north of Bridge Junction, east of Relay Depot and south 
of Broadway, respectively. 

At the junction of the elevated routes near the intersection 
of Main street and Broadway, East St. Louis, a new East Side 
Union Station should be built. 

As a first step and as a part of the East Side approaches 
and elevated lines, a preliminary approach, meeting surface 
tracks under the present Broadway viaduct, should be con¬ 
structed, affording trains access to the Municipal Bridge. 

The Merchants Bi'idge Terminal elevated structure should 
be extended from its present terminus north along the river 
front, crossing North Market street overhead and connecting 



UNION STATION. 


with the surface tracks of the C., B. & Q. and the city of St. 
Louis tracks, used by the Terminal Railroad Association. 

Passenger trains of the C., B. & Q. and the M., K. & T. 
should be removed from the congested surface tracks in the 
North St. Louis freight district and operated over the north 
extension of the Merchants Bridge elevated tracks. 

The Merchants bridge Terminal elevated structure should 
be extended south to cross Rutger street overhead and to con¬ 
nect with the tracks of the Missouri Pacific and of the city of 
St. Louis, used by the Terminal Railroad Association in South 
St. Louis. 

Elevated connection should be built at the river front be¬ 
tween the south extension of the elevated and the Mill Creek 
Valley portion of the elevated. 

The elevated tracks should be used for freight trains be¬ 
tween North St. Louis, South St. Louis and the Mill Creek 
Valley. 

The Poplar street track of the Missouri Pacific should be 
taken up between Seventh street and the river front when the 
traffic now handled over that track can be handled over the 
Merchants elevated tracks, extended to South St. Louis. 

The railroads should acquire all property south of the Mis¬ 
souri Pacific in Mill Creek Valley as far as Gratiot street. 

The Missouri Pacific yards should be relocated on the prop¬ 
erty thus acquired. 

With the additional space thus provided the approaches to 























18 


ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


the Union Station and the railroad facilities in the Mill Creek 
Valley should he enlarged as follows: 

Station tracks should be lengthened; 

Approach curves should be flattened; 

Engine facilities should be moved west of the station; 

All yards for passenger train cars should be moved west of 
the station; 

A train yard for making up and breaking up passenger 
trains should be provided west of the station; 

The inbound baggage room should be enlarged; 

The express buildings should be rebuilt nearly double their 
present size; 

New and enlarged facilities for handling mail and parcel 
post should be provided; 

Additional tracks for handling mail, express and other head 
end cars should be provided; 

At such time as the present train shed requires renewal it 
should be replaced by a modern train shed of the Bush type or 
umbrella type; 

Station platforms should be widened and paved; 

The midway should be widened; 

Twentieth street, south of Market street, should be moved 
west to line up with Twentieth street, north of Market street, 
which will give 140 feet additional Union Station frontage on 
Market street; 

The widening of Market street and the making of two blocks 
in front of Union Station into a plaza, as in the ordinance re¬ 
cently passed by the Board of Aldermen, should be carried out; 

A suburban station should be constructed, facing Market 
street between Seventh and Ninth streets; 

Automobile unloading platforms should be provided near 
Compton avenue, adjoining the automobile district. 

The present system by which each road classifies its own 


inbound freight for direct delivery to each railroad with which 
it connects should be changed and the interchange of freight 
between railroads should be completely unified. 

All railroads operating passenger trains into and out of St. 
Louis, use a single Union Station, which is owned by the Ter¬ 
minal Railroad Association of St. Louis, which comprises fifteen 
proprietary companies. However, all railroads, whether pro¬ 
prietary company or not, use the Union Station on exactly the 
same basis as to privileges, the cost of operating and maintain¬ 
ing the station being divided among owners and non-owners 
alike in proportion to the number of cars. 

Eighteen railroad companies operate passenger trains in and 
out of the Union Station. The number of trains varies some¬ 
what throughout the year, seasonal trains being added and 
taken off as necessity demands. A detail study of the Decem¬ 
ber, 1920, time tables showed a total of 269 passenger trains 
each day. 

In addition, the Wabash Railway operates 10 suburban pas¬ 
senger trains per day in and out of St. Louis that do not use 
the Union Station, their terminus being an uncovered track on 
the river front, at the foot of Olive street. 

The St. Louis Union Station is one of the most beautiful and 
conveniently arranged union stations in the country. Numerous 
features of this station have been copied in the design of other 
stations, notably the Union Station of Washington, D. C., and 
the C. & N. W. Station in Chicago. 

The North Market Street Municipal Dock should be com¬ 
pleted according to the plans for its ultimate development as 
rapidly as the requirements of the river traffic necessitate. 

The Mississippi River harbor lines should be moved east, 
south of the Municipal Bridge. 

The Mississippi River should be straightened north of the 
Merchants Bridge. 


The St. Louis Public Library 


The St. Louis Public Library is the successor of the St. Louis 
Public School Library, a subscription library established in 
1865. In 1893 the management was turned over to a Board of 
Trustees appointed by the Mayor, in accordance with the newly 
enacted State library law, and the title became “The St. Louis 
Public Library.” Since that time the Library has been supported 
by a tax levied by the city and disbursed under the law by the 
Board of Directors. 

The Library at present occupies a large central building, and 
six branch buildings, and operates other branches in rented 
quarters and a large number of deposit and delivery stations, 
embracing altogether 264 points at which books may be obtained 
and returned. Its book collection numbers 647,894 volumes and 
it circulates yearly over 2,000,000. 

The present central building is one of the largest and finest 
in this part of the country, and was completed in January, 1912, 
at a total cost of about $2,000,000, towards which the late Andrew 
Carnegie materially contributed. The architect was Cass Gilbert, 
of New York. The building occupies the entire block bounded 
by Olive, Locust, Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, originally 


part of a tract known as Missouri Park and used as the site 
of the old Exposition building, familiar to St. Louisans. It has 
four pavilions, one fronting on each of these four streets, and 
in addition a central pavilion standing in a court-yard so formed. 
The delivery hall, located in the central pavilion, is a room of 
great impressiveness and beauty, and the decoration and arrange¬ 
ment of the whole structure are exceptionally tasteful and 
attractive. The style is that of the French Renaissance. 

The Library has special facilities for the use of books in its 
central and branch buildings and also gives them out for 
home use to any one having a reader’s card. Any resident of 
St. Louis is entitled to a card, as well as anyone who pays taxes 
in the city or has office accommodations there. Non-residents 
who are near enough to reach the Library are allowed to use 
it at the nominal fee of $1.00 a year, and for distant readers, use 
can be arranged by inter-library loan. 

The Library has about fifteen rooms which it gives free for 
the use of local organizations. About 4,000 meetings are held in 
these rooms during the course of the year. In this way the 
Library has become a sort of community club and a large body 
of citizens look toward it as their intellectual civic center.

Babies Born in St. Louis Have a Better Chance to LiveThan Babies Born in Other Cities 


That St. Louis is the healthiest city, and that babies born 
in St. Louis have a better chance of living to maturity than 
those of other cities, is shown by the following* comparisons. 

In 1872 the general mortality rate in St. Louis was 30, on 
the basis of deaths per thousand. In 1922 this rate had decreased 
to 12. The decrease every ten years since 1872 to the present 
is shown by the following table: 


Year Mortality per 1,000 

1872 . 30 

1882 . 20 

1892 . 20 

1902 . 16 

1912 . 14 

1922 . 12 


The total number of deaths in 1922 was 9,222. If the rate 
of mortality of 1872 held true, the number would have been 
23,850. This shows a virtual saving of 13,428 lives in St. Louis 
in 1922. 

The health statistics show that in the general death rate 
from all causes, St. Louis is grouped in the first four cities in 
low death rate, separated by only seven-tenths of one per cent. 
The records of the various large cities follow: 


Cleveland . 11.8 

Detroit . 12.2 

New York. 12.3 

St. Louis. 12.5 

Chicago . 12.9 

Philadelphia . 14.5 

Boston . 14.6 

Pittsburgh. 15.8 

Cincinnati . 15.9 

San Francisco. 16.3 

Baltimore . 17.6 


At first glance, the above figures do not seem to prove that 
St. Louis is the healthiest city. But it must be clearly under¬ 
stood that there is only .7 of 1 per cent difference between St. 
Louis and Cleveland. Not only this, but Cleveland has a large 
young population, consisting in a great measure of automobile 
mechanics working in the manufacturing plants and in the elec¬ 
trical trade; and the figures include a number of outlying subur¬ 
ban cities, where no congestion exists, while St. Louis figures 
include only the city proper, its corporation limits not having 
been extended since 1876. 

As regards the Detroit and Cleveland figures, there are 
approximately over 450,000 young mechanics working in the 
automobile manufacturing plants, which more than accounts for 
the slight difference between the Detroit and Clevland figures 
and that of St. Louis. 

There is only a difference of .2 per cent between the New 
York and St. Louis figures, and when it is considered that New 
York has the greatest influx of immigrants of any city in the 
world, this influx consisting mostly of the younger and more 
virile generation, and when it is understood that St. Louis is a 
city where people live and stay, this difference is more than 
accounted for. 

St. Louis, the City of Better Babies 

The acid test of a city’s healthfulness is best indicated by 
the infant mortality rate, and it means something to you as 
either a resident of, or a visitor to, St. Louis to know that babies 
born in St. Louis have a better chance to live to maturity than 
in any other metropolitan city in the United States. 

The infant death rate in St. Louis last year was 56 per 
1,000, as compared with New York 74, Cleveland 75, Boston 77, 
Philadelphia 83, Detroit 87, Baltimore 89, Buffalo 93 and Pitts¬ 
burgh 93. Compare thes figures with the general mortality 
statistics given above, and you will, without doubt, be convinced 
that St. Louis is justly entitled to the cognomen, “The Healthiest 
City.” 

The decrease in the infant death rate in St. Louis over a 
period of years is of interest also, as it indicates clearly that 
St. Louis is a pioneer among cities in caring for the health and 


welfare of its residents. In 1882 the infant death rate was 240 
per 1,000, one death occurring among every four babies under 
1 year of age. In 1922 infant death rate was 56 per 1,000, one 
death occurring in every seventeen babies. The average infant 
death rate for the United States is 77 per 1,000 of children born, 
one death occurring in every twelve babies. The St. Louis 
death rate is lower than the average for the United States. On 
the basis of 1882 infant death rate the deaths for 1922 in St. 
Louis would have number 3,732 instead of 835. 

The reasons for this remarkable showing are manifest. In 
the first place, St. Louis supplies its residents with water which 
is unexcelled by any other metropolitan city in the world. The 
St. Louis waterworks has now a daily capacity of 190,000,000 
gallons of filtered and purified water, the daily consumption 
being 102,000,000 gallons. St. Louis’ rapid sand filter is the 
largest in the world. Yet St. Louis is not stopping here, but by 
the passage of a recent bond issue is building another immense 
addition, which, when completed, will be the best equipped 
waterworks system in the United States, sufficiently adequate to 
cope with the needs of a greatly increased population in future 
years. 

Secondly, St. Louis has 875 miles of sewers, which have con¬ 
tributed greatly to its low death rate. Here again the passage 
of a recent $87,000,000 bond issue, of which $8,000,000 was appro¬ 
priated for the improvement of sewers and $11,000,000 additional 
for the reclamation of streams which might through their flood 
waters imperil the safety and health of some of its residents, has 
shown St. Louis to be a pioneer among cities in all that makes 
for health and welfare. 

Thirdly, all milk is rigidly inspected to assure freedom from 
disease of any nature; all milk must be thoroughly pasteurized 
and bottled in absolutely sanitary containers; free pasteurized 
milk is distributed by the various clinics and hospitals through¬ 
out the city for the use of our infant poor; and a well-equipped 
Health Department is continually controlling and supervising the 
supply of food and milk to all residents. 

Fourthly, a well-equipped and efficient Health Department 
insures sanitary living conditions throughout the city. For a 
certain time every day a city doctor is to be found at every police 
station to vaccinate any residents upon request, to make physical 
examination and to test food products, either canned or in bulk. 

Fifthly, St. Louis’ climate is very favorable, as is evidenced 
by the following data. In this regard, these figures settle for¬ 
ever the oft heard argument that St. Louis is a “bake oven.”

period, is 56° F. 

After all, health is largely a matter of knowledge, a matter 
of education, and St. Louis’ dispensaries and clinics are second 
to none in their treatment and dissemination of public health 
information. Proper care is provided for the mother as well as 
the baby through the organization of municipal health centers 
with corps of nurses and physicians who make hundreds of visits 
to homes where help and guidance is needed, all of which results 
in an inestimable amount of good work in controlling illness and 
death among infants. 

Moreover, St. Louis supports the greatest training school and 
modern hospital system in the world through the organization 
and maintenance of the Barnes Hospital group. 

From the foregoing information, and other more detailed 
facts which will be found classified under other headings in this 
booklet, it is evident that St. Louis is a real city from the stand¬ 
point of health.

peatedly honored with medals and certificates 
of award of the highest rank by American and 
foreign world’s expositions for excellence in 
various school activities, and spoken of in 
complimentary terms whenever referred to by 
educators of prominence, the Public Schools 
of St. Louis may well be regarded as a great 
asset to this city and to the Mississippi Val¬ 
ley. 

The St. Louis System embraces one hundred 
and forty-two educational units as follows: 

2 Teachers’ Colleges for the training of 
young women to hold teaching posi¬ 
tions. 

6 Senior High Schools. 

1 Junior High School; 1 Intermediate 
School. 

106 Elementary Schools. 

2 Continuation or Part Time Schools. 

3 Boys’ Classes. 

3 Open Air Schools. 

I School for Juvenile Court Wards. 

Classes at each of the two City Hos¬ 
pitals, at the Koch Hospital, at the 
House of Detention, and at the City 
Sanitarium. 

II Special Schools 

1 School for tne Deaf. 

Classes at Ridge Farm under the in¬ 
struction of a St. Louis Public School 
teacher. (Ridge Farm is supported by 
the St. Louis Children’s Hospital Asso¬ 
ciation and is maintained for children 
suffering from incipient tuberculosis of 
the joints.) 

Classes for semi-sighted. 

St. Louis has been a center of progressive 
education for two generations. Mlany impor¬ 
tant movements which have exerted an influ¬ 
ence upon education both in this country and 
abroad originated in St. Louis. The first kin¬ 
dergarten connected with public schools was 
founded in St. Louis forty-five years ago by 
Miss Susan Blow. The first manual training 
school in America was founded over forty 
years ago by Professor Calvin M. Woodward. 

The present epoch of educational progress in 
St. Louis began with the granting of a new 
Charter to the Board of Education by the 
State Legislature. The execution of the will 
of the Board is lodged' with the Superintendent 
of Instruction and four officers in charge of 
auxiliary departments. The latter are, the 
Commissioner of School Buildings, the Secre¬ 
tary and Treasurer, the Supply Commissioner, 
and the Auditor. Recommendations within the 
scope of the several departments originate with 
the heads of those departments, are presented 
for review and discussion to the various com¬ 
mittees of the Board, viz., the Committee on 


Instruction, the Committee on School Build¬ 
ings, the Committee on Finance, the Committee 
on Auditing and Supplies—and then placed be¬ 
fore the Board of Education at its monthly 
meeting for final disposition. 

The modern St. Louis type of elementary 
school building contains from 20 to 25 class¬ 
rooms, a boys’ and a girls’ playroom, a boys’ 
and a girls’ gymnasium, not infrequently an 
auditorium or a combination auditorium, play- 


STIX SCHOOL. 

room and gymnasium; a manual training room, 
a room for instruction in cookery and other 
household arts and a kindergarten. It accom¬ 
modates from 1200 to 1500 children. 

Every public school in St. Louis is as nearly 
fireproof as human ingenuity can make it. The 
school stairways are usually carried in a fire¬ 
proof well and provide a continuous and un¬ 
broken route from the various floors to the 
exits. The floors of hardwood rest upon con¬ 
crete and the sleepers which carry the floors 
are imbedded in concrete. The determined 
and unhampered efforts of many persons ex- 
tnding over a period of days and weeks would 
accomplish little toward destroying any one of 
these splendid buildings by fire. 

As is indicated in the list of school units, 
sympathetic and intelligent attention is being 
devoted to the needs of children who suffer 
from mental or physical handicaps and every 
effort proper to their necessities is exerted to 
provide these unfortunates with the elements 
of a common school education. 

The Compulsory Education Law now in force 
in the State of Missouri provides that chil¬ 
dren must attend school until fourteen years 
of age, or until sixteen if in the meantime 
they do not secure employment. The 49th 
General Assembly, in 1919, made provision for 
the establishment of Continuation Schools. 


CLEVELAND HIGH SCHOOL. 


These require the attendance, for four hours 
per week, of all employed boys and girls under 
sixteen who have not completed the eighth 
grade. Over 2,500 employed children are now 
in attendance at the Continuation Schools. 
One of these schools is located in the Jeffer¬ 
son School Building at Ninth and Wash 
Streets; the other at the Banneker School on 
Lucas Avenue. Besides presenting instruction 
in the common school branches, the Continua¬ 
tion School program offers courses in plumbing, 
auto-mechanics, household arts, machine shop 
practice, carpentry, pattern-making, printing, 
armature winding and electrical construction, 
millinery, business practice, stenography, and 
bookkeeping. 

Separate schools are maintained for white 
and for colored children. The high schools 
have a course of instruction extending oyer 
four years. The Teachers’ Colleges receive 
students who are graduates of the high school. 
Their course covers a year and a half of study 
and a half year of observation of methods and 
teaching practice. A complete system of eve¬ 
ning schools in operation for a period of thirty- 
seven of the forty weeks of the regular school 
term are open to young men and women of 
sixteen years old and upwards. Children enter 
the kindergarten at the age of five and are 
usually ready for advancement to the grades 
at the age of six. The course of instruction in 
the grades covers eight years. 

The school buildings of St. Louis are not 
closed at 4 p. m. when the regular exercises 
of the school day are over. Meetings of citi¬ 
zens for public welfare or for recreation are 
frequent, the buildings being placed at the 
service of organizations desiring to use them 
for such purposes. 

More than 4,000 such meetings were held 
last year, attended by a total of more than 
500,000 persons. In many buildings Social Cen¬ 
ters are conducted weekly providing wholesome 
entertainment and instruction suited to old 
and young under a competent supervisor ap¬ 
proved by the Board of Education. 

Principals of the teachers’ colleges, the high 
schools and the elementary schools have super¬ 
vision of the teachers and general manage¬ 
ment of the schools. Though not required to 
teach they are held responsible for instruc¬ 
tional methods pursued and for results accom¬ 
plished in their respective schools. 

In addition to the various classes of schools 
previously mentioned there are the following 
divisons of the Department of Instruction each 
directed by a supervisor. Their work and that 
of their assistants is briefly to make more 
efficient the work of instruction in the schools. 

1. Attendance 

2. Drawing 

3. Educational Exten¬ 

sion 

4. Educational 

Museum 

5. Household Arts 

6. Kindergarten 

7. Manual Arts 

Aside from their primary function of train¬ 
ing teachers the teachers’ colleges present ex¬ 
tension courses both for teachers who wish to 
improve themselves in the technique of their 
profession and for those who wish to study 
for degrees. These extension classes are held 
in the afternoon at an hour convenient to 
teachers after the close of the elementary and 
high schools, on Saturday and for six weeks 
during the vacation term. 

A system of summer schools is also main¬ 
tained. These present courses in the academic 
studies for pupils who for various reasons have 
suffered retardation in their studies and for 
children who elect manual or recreational ac¬ 
tivities. During the summer of 1922 there were 
registered in the academic courses 11,407 pupils 
and in the manual and recreational activities 
11,115 pupils. 

Reference has been made to the efforts put 
forth to provide the mentally or physically 
handicapped children with the elements of a 
common school education. Help in this direc¬ 
tion of a very valuable character is being ren¬ 
dered by groups of philanthropic women who 
have established milk stations and lunch 
rooms in various schools, particularly in the 
congested districts of the city. Here milk is 
furnished at cost and likewise a hot and nour¬ 
ishing luncheon at the noon hour for children 
who would otherwise be compelled to eat a 
cold luncheon or go without.

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


21 



The St. Louis Convention, Publicity and 
Tourist Bureau was organized in May, 1909. 
It was incorporated in 1910. Only twelve (12) 
conventions were held here as a result of the 
work of the bureau for the first year and St. 
Louis was not regarded seriously as a con¬ 
vention city until the year 1916 when it was 
reorganized. Before the re-organization St. 
Louis was practically unknown as a convention 
city. 

Today St. Louis is the third convention city 
of the United States with only New York and 
Chicago leading in the order named. From 
1909 to 1915 there were only 611 conventions 
held here, or an average of 87 per year. 

From 1916 to 1922, inclusive, there have been 
1799 conventions held here, or an average of 
267 conventions per year. An increase due 
entirely to the fact that the business men of 
St. Louis have been convinced that conventions 
are an asset to the city, as well as the fact 
that the bureau is recognized as the largest 
and best organized convention bureau in the 
United States. 

The Chief Purpose. 

The chief purpose of the bureau is to in¬ 
vite conventions and other public and quasi¬ 
public gatherings to hold their meetings in 
the city of St. Louis so that its citizens may 
be educated and intellectually benefited by all 
matters and things appertaining to education, 
history, science and literature, or whatever is 
incidental to or promotive of such subjects; 
further, to encourage the rpinting and circulat¬ 
ing of all papers read and debated at such 
meetings on educational and scientific subjects 
which tends or conduces to the public advan¬ 
tage in relation to any or several of the sub¬ 
jects stated. 

The St. Louis Convention. Publicity and 
Tourist Bureau is an organization that was 
built not only for the purpose of securing con¬ 
ventions but to render them a service after 
they have been secured. 

Meeting Places. 

Remember St. Louis, if you are a member 
of an organization ready to select a convention 
city. Consider the facilities of St. Louis; you 
will make no mistake by voting for the “Log¬ 
ical Convention City of the United States.*’ 

St. Louis has meeting places of any size for 
the average state or national convention and 
some meeting places for those a little above 
the average. When the new Municipal Audi¬ 
torium is erected St. Louis will be able to 
meet the requirements of any convention. 

The Coliseum, built of concrete, steel and 
glass, is entirely fireproof. The building itself 
fronts 320 feet on Jefferson Avenue, 211 feet 
on Washington Avenue and 164 feet on Locust 
Street. There are 30,000 square feet available 
for exhibition space, with special demountable 
mezzanine equipment, permitting a total of 
about 55,000 square feet for this kind of space. 
The arena and second floor contain large com¬ 
mittee rooms. The balcony and galleries are 
provided with separate entrances. The acous¬ 
tic qualities are perfect. Grand Opera has 
been given successfully in this auditorium to 
delighted audiences. Two main street car lines 
pass the Coliseum door, with transfer privi¬ 
leges to all parts of the city, for one fare. 
The Cofiseum is also within easy walking dis¬ 
tance of the downtown hotels. The seating 
capacity is nearly 13,000. 

Other Meeting Places. 

Fifty-one other meeting places with a seating 
capacity running all the way from 200 to 3,500 
are available. 

Hotels. 

And when it comes to hotel accommodations 
for the convention delegates or visitors, St. 
Louis is there with the other convention cities, 
wth a lead on many of them in this respect. 

St. Louis has 165 hotels in addition to a 
large number of first-class rooming and board¬ 
ing houses and apartments for transient vis¬ 
itors. The capacity of 22 of the leading hotels 
is 15,900. Auditoriums with seating capacity 
of from 20 to 1,500, equipped with meeting 
rooms of any size desired', are located in many 
of the St. Louis hotels. 

Hotel Rates. 

It is a known fact that the hotel rates in 
St. Louis are among the lowest in the country. 


The St. Louis Convention, 
Publicity and Tourist 
Bureau 

By FRANCIS E. TURIN 


Visitors are assured of ample and comfortable 
hotel accommodations at practically the lowest 
rates prevailing throughout the United States. 

The sterling records of hotel managements 
are assurances that every courtesy will be af¬ 
forded to visitors and delegates to conventions. 

How Managed. 

The affairs of the bureau are managed by the 
officers, Secretary and General Manager and 



INTERIOR VIEW OF COLISEUM. 

his staff and the Board of thirty (30) directors. 
All of the directors are outstanding business 
men representing various lines of business. The 
annual budget of the bureau is approximately 
$70,000 and the bureau guarantees meeting 
places to organizations holding conventions in 
St. Louis, handles the publicity and co-operates 
in a thousand and one other ways. 

It is estimated that the bureau is responsible 
for a transient population of over 200,000 per 
year, and that the delegates and visitors who 
attend conventions held in St. Louis spend 



HOTEL STATLER. 


nearly $6,000,000 annually, such expenditures 
being for hotel and incidental expenses. The 
bureau has it on record that for one year only, 
the delegates and visitors to conventions spent 
$20,000,000 in wholesale and retail purchases. 

Why Do They Come to St. Louis? 

The convention department of the bureau is 
in direct contact with over 3,000 organizations 
as prospects for St. Louis conventions, develop¬ 
ing a local interest, which is one of the most 
difcult things the bureau has to do. Some¬ 
times it has taken from three to four years to 
get local co-operation because the convention 
bureau officials cannot invite conventions with¬ 
out the hearty support of local members. 

The service rendered by the bureau makes it 
easier for the local organization acting as host 
due entirely to the system of co-operation of 
the different departments of the bureau. The 
bureau even goes to the extent of furnishing an 
official hostess to see that the ladies are taken 
care of. 

The service rendered to conventions of the 
past by the convention and tourist department 
of the bureau is insurance to the conventions 
of the future that they will not make a mistake 
in selecting St. Louis as the convention city. 

In order to properly carry out the purposes 
outlined, the bureau maintains an extensive 
publicity department. The publicity depart¬ 
ment of the bureau was organized 1919 and 
since its organization, due to the co-operation 
of the papers of St. Louis, the Associated Press. 
International News Service and the United 
Press, has been responsible for nearly 5,000,000 
lines of local and national publicity on conven¬ 
tions, etc., held in St. Louis. 

The bureau distributes over 500,000 pieces of 
literature annually throughout the United 
States. 

The offices of the bureau are located in suite 
507 Commercial Building, Sixth and Olive 
Streets. The telephone numbers are (Bell) 
Olive 1023-1024 and (Kinloch) Central 411. 

Staff of Bureau. 

Charles F. Hatfield, secretary and general 
manager. 

Francis E. Turin, director of membership and 
publicity. 

Frederick H. Rein, director of conventions and 
tourists. 

Charles F. Hatfield, the secretary and general 
manager of the bureau is recognized as the 
convention expert of the United States. The 
bureau has made remarkable strides under his 
management which began m 1916. 

In conclusion, any article on the conventions* 
bureau would be incomplete without reference 
to this tireless and efficient worker for St. 
Louis. Mr. Hatfield resigned important busi¬ 
ness connections in St. Louis immediately fol¬ 
lowing the World’s Fair, taking up special pub¬ 
licity campaigns from his office in Chicago and 
w r as for three years the Eastern Representative 
of the Panama-Pacific Exposition. having 
charge of taking the conventions to San Fran¬ 
cisco in 1915, breaking all records. After clos¬ 
ing out his connections with the Panama-Pa¬ 
cific Exposition many cities tried to secure his 
services, as he had become recognized as a con¬ 
vention expert, but because of his love for St. 
Louis, he accepted the position of Secretary 
and General Manager of the St. Louis Conven¬ 
tion, Publicity and Tourist Bureau which he has 
built up from a small organization which had 
been securing less than one hundred conven¬ 
tions a year to an organization three or four 
times the size of any similar bureau in this 
country responsible for the procuring of over 
three hundred conventions per year for St. 
Louis. 

Mr. Hatfield is active in all civic life in St. 
Louis. He is a member of the Chamber of 
Commerce!, Advertising Club, Optimist Club, in 
addition to holding many national positions such 
as President of the Community Advertising De¬ 
partment, Associated Advert ; sing Clubs of the 
w T orld to which he has just been elected for the 
fifth term. He is Vice-President of the Ameri¬ 
can Travel Development Association; Secretary 
of the Outdoor League of America; member of 
the Chamber of Commerce of the United States; 
National Association Commercial Organization 
Secretaries and past President of the National 
Association of Convention Bureaus.

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


( 


St. Louis—The Best Equipped City 

By FRANK E. LAWRENCE, Jr., Secretary City Plan Commission 


By the authorization of bonds to the extent of approxi¬ 
mately $87,000,000, February 9th, 1923, the citizens of 
Saint Louis have to all intents and purposes issued a chal¬ 
lenge to other American communities in providing better 
facilities for the transaction of business and satisfactory 
living conditions—for this mammoth program of municipal 
improvement embraces every phase of community develop¬ 
ment—wider and more direct thoroughfares, adequate 
street lighting, grouping of public buildings, new public 
markets, construction of new sewers and reconstruction of 
old sewers, elimination of grade crossings, establishment of 
civic centers and im¬ 
provement of existing 
parks as well as provid¬ 
ing for the acquisition 
of land for new parks 
and playgrounds. 

This great program 
includes improvements 
that had their origin in 
the City Plan Commis¬ 
sion, and assures to St. 

Louis the most practical 
city planning of any 
American city up to this 
time. 

With the rapid in¬ 
crease in the volume of 
vehicular traffic on the 
streets of this city there 
was created a congestion 
that soon placed all 
parts of the community 
under a distinct handi¬ 
cap, resulting from the 
inability to have quick 
access between the va¬ 
rious sections because of the insufficient widths of roadways 
and lack of direct arteries. 

The City Plan Commission made a survey of the street 
system and the needs for more direct communication be¬ 
tween the various sections of the city, and this survey 
resulted in recommendations for the widening, opening and 
extension of thoroughfares, comprising in all 86 miles. 
For the greater portion of this work, now under condemna¬ 
tion proceedings, there was included in the recent bond 
issue approximately $8,000,000 for the city’s share of the 
cost of the street widening program. The completion of 
this program will insure a street system fully adequate to 
meet the demands of a well regulated city of possibly 
2,000,000 people. 

With a view to facilitating the carrying on of public 
business there has been adopted a plan for the grouping of 
all public structures in the city, facing on a plaza dedicated 
to the citizen soldiers of St. Louis. As a nucleus of this 
group there is the present City Hall, Municipal Courts 
Building and the Public Library. By the approval of the 
recent bond issue it is certain that a new Courthouse, at a 
cost of $4,000,000, a Municipal Auditorium and Convention 
Hall, with a seating capacity of 12,000 to 15,000, at a cost 


of $5,000,000, and a Soldiers’ Memorial Building, at a cost 
of $1,000,000, will be erected, with a Hall of Records build¬ 
ing, a Federal Office building and two smaller buildings— 
a Board of Education building and downtown museum—to 
be erected at a subsequent date for the completion of the 
group. It is estimated that the cost of the acquisition of 
land for the Memorial Plaza, comprising nine city blocks 
of an area of 27 acres, will be $5,000,000. So that the 
completion of this grouping scheme involves an expendi¬ 
ture of $15,000,000. 

Under the old order existing in St. Louis, the visitor ar¬ 
riving at Union Station 
would get a most un¬ 
favorable impression of 
St. Louis. The first sight 
obtainable was that 
of Market street with its 
rookeries and other un¬ 
sightly conditions. That 
condition is to be no 
longer allowed, for the 
citizens have decided by 
their vote that a plaza, 
one block wide and two 
blocks long, shall be the 
first view of the strang¬ 
er within our gates. This 
open space will also re¬ 
lieve traffic congestion 
around Union Station, 
the main entrance to 
the city. 

St. Louis is noted for 
being one of the health¬ 
iest cities in the world, 
and to retain that en¬ 
viable reputation exten¬ 
sions to the present park acreage will be carried on under 
bond issue authorization; expansion of hospital facil¬ 
ities undertaken, erection of new public markets as well as 
the repairing of existing markets in order to provide the 
best sanitation possible, elimination of grade crossings, re¬ 
ducing the chance for possible injury, and the construction 
of new sewers in all sections of the city. 

All of these improvements have a direct relation 
to the health and prosperity of the community, 
and St. Louis, once these improvements are com¬ 
pleted, will be in the forefront of modern, well regulated 
cities. 

Within close proximity to the great southwest trade ter¬ 
ritory, near the center of population, with many of the 
great railway systems of the United States converging at 
this point, low freight rates, short hauls to approximately 
fifty million people, bordered on all sides with coal fields, 
mineral deposits and great agricultural areas, St. Louis’ 
future offers attractions that cannot be found in any other 
city of the United States, and it is evident from the large 
number of inquiries that the people outside of St. Louis 
are beginning to appreciate the wonderful possibilities in 
this center.

ATHLETICS, Municipal. 

“Recreation for Every Citizen and Every Citizen 
for Recreation.” 

The City of St. Louis fosters and encourages 
for the benefit of its citizens a great variety

recreation for which facilities are offered are: 
Baseball, Basket-Ball, Golf, Track and Field 
Boxing, Soccer, Wrestling, Tennis, Rowing, 
Football, Swimming, Horseshoe Pitching, 
Bicycle Racing. 

St. Louis admittedly leads in municipal ath¬

a view of adoption. 

St. Louis has won the national Muny Cham¬ 
pionship in a number of branches of athletics. 

The spirit of St. Louis municipal athletics is

of Main Street on the site of the old Chouteau 
mansion, between Market and Walnuts Streets. 
Tablet is to the memory of Capt. Lewis St.

Maxent. Laclede & Co., civil government w r as 
first established in St. Louis by Cantain Louis 
St. Angle de Bellerive. Died December 27, 1774.

Upper Louisiana.’’ 

CHURCH IN CAHOKIA, ILL.— Located just 
across the Mississippi River, about a mile south 
of the Free Bridge, stands a church more than 
200 years old. This old church outranks by 100 
years every other building in this section. It 
was first an Indian station, then a French trad¬ 
ing post; now, for 200 years, it has been a 
Catholic Mission. 

CLARK TABLET. —On the National Bank of 
Commerce Building, corner Broadway and Olive,

FIELD TABLET. —At 634 South Broadway is

killed in Cahokia and buried in St. Louis. The 
tablet was erected near the supposed location of 
his grave. 

ST. JOSEPH’S TABLET. —On the same site 
of the Bellerive tablet another tablet of marble 
is erected commemorating an expedition against 
Ft. St. Joseph, Michigan. The inscription reads:

2, 1781, on their victorious expedition against 
Fort Saint Joseph, Michigan, the nearest point 
flying the British flag.” 

TABLET ON SECOND STREET.— A tablet 
on the building at 109 North Second Street

A TENSE MOMENT AT SPORTSMAN’S PARK. 






















ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


37 



Almost the first thing visitors to St. Louis ask to see 
is the Missouri Botanical Garden, which, because of its 
having been founded by Henry Shaw, is known locally 
as “Shaw’s Garden.” With its great variety of outdoor 
gardens, combining the picturesque with the formal 
plantings, and with the remarkably fine lot of plants of 
all sorts under glass, the Garden is an attractive place 
to visit at any time of year. Recognized throughout the 
world as one of the few great botanical gardens, its mag¬ 
nificent collections of beautiful, or useful, or curious 
plants has a very wide appeal. The Garden as it now 
exists is the development of the private garden of Mr. 
Henry Shaw who came to this country from England in 
1 Si8 and soon after settled in St. Louis. Upon his death 
his garden, together with the major portion of his estate, 
was left to a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees, who, 
through a Director, carry out the remarkably liberal and 
far-seeing provisions of his will. Although popularly 
supposed to receive aid from both the City and State, the 
Missouri Botanical Garden has no support whatever other 
than from the estate of its founder. The Trustees have 
from the first recognized that in administering the great 
institution entrusted to them by Mr. Shaw they have two 
distinct duties to perform. One of these is, of course, the 
provision of an attractive and instructive collection of 
trees and plants of all sorts, which, besides providing an 
ideal spot in which the people of St. Louis and elsewhere 
may find grateful relief from ordinary city surroundings, 
will also be of much practical value to those interested 
in gardening and plants. The other duty is fostering 
and encouraging by every possible means the theoretical 
as well as the applied side of science and botany. Mr. 
Shaw before his death began to gather together a library 
and a herbarium and made definite provision in his will 
for the establishment of laboratories and the investiga¬ 
tion of the various aspects of floriculture, horticulture and 
physiological and systematic botany. Through the 
Henry Shaw School of Botany, the Garden has the 
closest affiliation with Washington University. Students 
coming to Washington University from other institu¬ 
tions to take one of the higher degrees do their graduate 
work at the Garden. There is also a school for Garden¬ 
ing to which high school graduates are admitted. The 


work in this school includes landscape design, floricul¬ 
ture, horticulture, diseases of plants, tree surgery, the use 
of plant materials, and such other subjects as are calcu¬ 
lated to fit one for the profession of gardening in any 
of its various aspects. 

The Garden comprises about 75 acres in the heart of 
the city. Within the stone wall and fence which enclose 
it may be found, in addition to the ordinary landscape 
features of the park, many special gardens and collec¬ 
tions. Chief among these are the rose garden, the iris 
garden, the aquatic garden, the Italian garden, the wild 
flower garden, etc. The so-called economic garden con¬ 
tains useful plants such as sugar cane, cotton, rice, and 
farm crops of various kinds. There also are to be found 
examples of vines, hedge plants, annuals and perennials 
suitable for gardens in the vicinity of St. Louis. Four 
sample back yards, showing various ways in which the 
average city lot may be planted, are included, as well as 
various other features, calculated to be of benefit to the 
small householder. 

The conservatories are devoted primarily to maintain¬ 
ing permanent collections of palms, tropical economic 
plants, ferns, desert vegetation, cycads, orchids, etc 
There is also a floral display house where a continuous 
flower show is maintained from October to July. Among 
the more notable displays are those of chrysanthemums 
in November, orchids in December and January, and the 
spring flower show, including cinerarias, roses, lilies, 
calceolarias and amaryllis. In May the St. Louis Garden 
Club holds a show for the amateur gardeners of St. Louis 
and vicinity, at which prizes are offered, and in the fall 
of 1923 a dahlia show will be staged for the first time. 
The floral display house is admirably adapted for such 
exhibitions and probably nowhere else in the country 
does the public have a similar opportunity to see brought 
together such attractive and beautiful collections of 
blooming plants. 

The Garden is open to the public every day in the year, 
except New Year’s, Fourth of July, Labor Day, and 
Christmas—week days from 8:00 a. m. until one-half 
hour after sunset; Sundays from November to April, 
1:00 p. m. until sunset, from April to November, 2:00 
p. m. until sunset.

ALl. ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


« 



If Mark Twain could see his beloved 
Mississippi River as it is today, what a 
fairy romance he could weave about its 
busy traffic! What golden pages could 
he add to his immortal “Life on the 
Mississippi” could he see huge tow¬ 
boats bound to mammoth barges bear¬ 
ing their bulky burdens to New Or¬ 
leans—and the world! What a word 
picture could he paint were he aboard 
one of the modern floating palaces with 
its gay throng of young St. Louisans 
gliding over the smooth dance floor to 
bewitching strains of music somewhat 
different from those that the darkies 
strummed on their banjos in the days 
of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. 

How unlike the old cotton packets 
with their tall smokestacks, shrill whis¬ 
tles and twinkling bells are the excur¬ 
sion boats of today, with their big 
wicker tapestry covered chairs, chaise 
longues, canopied ceilings, floor lamps 
surrounded by a garden setting of 
myriad palms and growing flowers in 
wicker boxes—a roof garden trans¬ 
ported from the heat of the city to the 
cool evening breeze that hovers over 
the Father of Waters. 

Is it any wonder that thousands of 
those who toil in the marts of trade 
wend their weary ways to the water¬ 
front where tired bodies are revived by 
cool fans and perpetual breezes, where 
tired feet forget their weariness and 
tired spirits their depression as the 
couples lose themselves among other 
couples in the soft, seductive strains 
of a dreamy waltz or a peppy foxtrot? 


Just to lounge with “someone” in a 
soft cushioned steamer chair and listen 
to the barcarole of the orchestra and 
gaze at a silvery moon flirting with the 
dark stream who coquettishly winks 
back with its thousand eyes is inspira¬ 
tion enough for the budding Romeos 
and Juliets of the prosaic workaday 
world. 

The Mississippi indeed becomes a 
river of romance, for in a few hours 
you are carried past the huge water 
filtration plant at Chain of Rocks, past 
the mouth of the Great Missouri to 
Alton. Next comes Lover’s Leap, so 
called because, we are told, that from 
this point a disappointed Indian maid 
flung herself into the engulfing current 
beneath. On we go to Clarksville of 
cider fame—then to Louisiana and 
Hannibal, where Mark Twain spent his 
boyhood days and which is the back¬ 
ground for his immortal tales of mis¬ 
chievous youth. Soon we are at 
Quincy, our destination, and if you 
would go further, you can travel clear 
to St. Paul, as some of the boats make 
regular nine-day trips from St. Louis 
to St. Paul during the summer months. 
Boats can also be chartered for conven¬ 
tions or private outings. 

If your fancy leans toward the “Land 
of Cotton,” take a sixday trip down the 
river past Cape Girardeau, Cairo, up 
the Ohio to Paducah, and up the wind¬ 
ing Tennessee River into the very heart 
of the enchanted country of the Old 
South, where stops are made to satisfy 


the sightseer until we reach the Shiloh 
National Park — the scene of that 
mighty struggle where “brother fought 
against brother.” Embarking again, 
we are St. Louis bound. 

Then there are one-day trips—up 
and down stream—which are becom¬ 
ing more and more popular as a ren¬ 
dezvous for bridge parties, for sewing 
circles, for family outings and for real 
rest and recreation. What more charm¬ 
ing entertainment could we offer to our 
visitor during the long summer days? 

When Mark Twain was a boy, the 
staunch little packets of his day bat¬ 
tled bravely against the current with 
their 25 tons of freight. The present 
day barge-tow moves 10,000 tons— 
more than 350 carloads or ten full 
trains—in a single tow. At the mod¬ 
ern $1,000,000 Municipal Dock in St. 
Louis, huge traveling cranes can load 
10,000 tons and deliver it at New Or¬ 
leans to one of the trans-Atlantic or 
trans-Pacific boats of the same capac¬ 
ity. Thus a tow load at St. Louis be¬ 
comes a ship load at New Orleans, and 
St. Louis becomes the newest “sea¬ 
port” in the United States. Favored 
by distance and low water shipping 
rates, is it any wonder that St. Louis 
manufacturers can handle Pacific trade 
via the Panama Canal more profitably 
than their Eastern competitors can by 
rail? 

Yes, if Mark Twain could see his be¬ 
loved Mississippi River as it is today, 
what a fairy romance he could weave 
about its busy traffic!

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 



WITH MUSIC 1 


THE NIGHT~1WfsH ALL BE fie LED 


It is indeed a strange coincidence that the same hills which 
only a few generations ago resounded with the discordant war 
whoops of Indian tribes, today reverberate with harmonies of 
song and symphony, for in St. Louis stands an unique municipal 
monument to music that bears silent testimony to the high 
standard of municipal entertainment patronized by the music 
lovers of the Mound City. 

Situated in a natural amphitheatre in Forest Park on the 
steep bank of the River des Peres, no more exquisite setting 
could be desired as a background for the comic operas pre¬ 
sented nightly for ten weeks during the mid-summer season. 
From far and near throngs a multitude of ten thousand, who 
listen with rapt ears to the arias and choruses of “The Choco 
late Soldier” or “The Spring Maid,” presented by a cast of the 
best voices and an ensemble that sometimes numbers one 



thousand, for the stage—120 by 90 feet—is the largest in the 
country. A symphony orchestra of 150 pieces accompanies 
every performance. 

The vast auditorium—256 feet deep and an average width of 
225 feet—has a total seating capacity of 9,270, seventeen hun¬ 
dred of which are free, and ample space on the sides and in 
the rear for several thousand additional spectators. The struc¬ 
ture is of reinforced concrete throughout and portable chairs 
are used for seats. Exits are so arranged that the auditorium 
can be emptied in from ten to twenty minutes. 

Even from the most remote position in the rear, the spec¬ 
tator has free unobstructed view of the stage, and the voices of 
the artists aided by exceptional acoustics have carried satis¬ 
factorily in every performance so far held. In fact, during the 
forthcoming season powerful amplifiers will be installed in the 
rear of the theatre to further augment the voices of the artists 
and the entire opera will be broadcast by radio so that St. 


Louis will share its musical treat with the whole nation. Two 
massive oaks and clusters of dense shrubbery form a pic¬ 
turesque background to the massive stage. A small bridge 
across the River des Peres in the rear of the stage is often 
embodied in the scenes of operas requiring spectacular settings. 
Elaborate electric lighting effects from the towers flanking the 
stage lend an exotic touch to each production and their spec¬ 
tral rays form quite a contrast to the dainty blue-white moon 
and twinkling stars overhead. 

The impulse which prompted the erection of the Municipal 
Theatre was born in the historic Pageant and Masque of St. 
Louis in 1914, which brought forth an assemblage of 300,000 
St. Louisans and two years later the theatre was opened by 
a performance of “As You Like It” by a distinguished cast headed 
by Margaret Anglin, Robert B. Mantell and Frederick Lewis. 

The following year the city placed the theatre on a per¬ 
manent basis, building a stage, a concrete auditorium and 
erecting at the top a colonnade of classic style. 

Among the more familiar offerings presented in recent sea¬ 
sons are: “Robin Hood,” “Bohemian Girl,” “The Mikado,” 
Chimes of Normandy,” “The Fire Fly,” “Babes in Toyland,” 
“Katrinka,” “The Fortune Teller,” “Sari,” “Miss Springtime,” 
“The Yeomen of the Guard” and “Sweethearts.” 

Unlike most artistic enterprises conducted on a colossal scale, 
the Municipal Opera is a profitable venture. A portion of the 
profits has been used to construct a new shelter pergola on 
one side of the auditorium which affords protection to 10,000 
people in event of rain; also, in establishing a Free Chorus 
School in which were trained, at the Association’s expense, the 
237 St. Louis boys and girls from whom the present chorus of 
90 voices was chosen. Ultimately it is hoped to develop local 
talent—St. Louis residents and St. Louis trained—into finished 
artists of every department of light opera. 

During the winter and spring season, St. Louisans are not 
without high-class musical diversion, for the St. Louis Sym¬ 
phony Orchestra, under the direction of Rudolph Ganz, is rec¬ 
ognized as one of the foremost organizations of its kind in the 
country today. Concerts are given several times every week 
to capacity houses and often soloists of exceptional ability en¬ 
hance the regular symphony program. Vocal and instrumental 
artists of international fame always find an appreciative, atten¬ 
tive audience in our midst. 

In this day when the throne of the Divine Muse has been 
usurped by the tyrant Jazz it is a source of pride to St. Louis¬ 
ans that there are not merely a faithful few to whom music 
means more than the moan of a saxaphone or the strident 
staccato of crackling cornets, but rather a symphonious setting 
to a romantic tale—a story that never grows old to the multi¬ 
tudes that make their pilgrimages to their Meccas of music— 
the Symphony and the Municipal Opera.

Right on the heels of the Municipal Opera season comes 
another extravaganza of symphony—not of music but of 
color—the Annual Fashion Show, held for two solid weeks 
in August in the massive Municipal Theatre in Forest Park. 

Heralded far and near in the public prints, buyers of 
feminine apparel flock by the thousands to attend this 
supreme spectacle of style—the fashion event of the year, 
where they can view the latest creations designed by the 
world’s greatest dressmakers for the wardrobe of milady 
during the fall and winter seasons. 

Here the buyer from Little Rock, Arkansas, or Great 
Falls, Montana, can make an advance selection of the com¬ 
ing modes for his respective clientele, providing them with 
the same up-to-the-minute models as are being worn in the 
most metropolitan circles. 

Not only do the buyers witness this gay garment display, 
but thousands of St. Louisans and visitors swell the attend¬ 
ance to the ten-thousand mark every night of the two 
weeks. 

The settings rival those of the Municipal Opera in splen¬ 
dor and sumptuous scenery. Elaborate lighting effects 
cast a myriad tints upon the hundreds of dainty manne¬ 
quins who pirouette behind the footlights and promenade 
on the two long aisles through the audience. A tuneful 
musical program of popular numbers is presented through¬ 
out the performance by a symphony orchestra of 150 pieces. 
Between the showings of suits, blouses and skirts, sport 
clothes, evening gowns and furs the best acts of the vaude¬ 
ville stage offer a delightful piece de resistance to the seem¬ 
ingly endless procession of trimly shod and gaily decked 
models. A chillv contrast to the mid-summer revue is 


afforded by the ice skaters who exhibit the advance styles in 
skating costumes, while delighting the spectators by fancy 
skating on a specially constructed tank of ice. The program 
is usually concluded by exhibitions of fancy diving by a 
score of shapely swimmers whose skillful performance is 
as attractive as the bright bathing suits which they display. 

The Fashion Pageant is a living monument to the fore¬ 
sight, and concerted action of St. Louis garment manufac¬ 
turers, whose constant thought is to combine style with 
values in serving the needs of the nation. Although the 
annual business of the millinery, clothing, shoes and fur 
manufacturers of St. Louis aggregates millions, yet their 
respective trades mean more to them than the mere making 
of clothes. It is rather a large craft—a guild of artisans 
who have devoted their energies to the goal of making the 
dictum of Dame Fashion start from the center of the land. 
And why not, since St. Louis is the second city in the manu¬ 
facture of shoes, third in the manufacture of clothing, and 
first in the fur market? 

And not only because of its keystone position in the cloth¬ 
ing industry, but by virtue of its histrionic background will 
this goal be reached. For what metropolitan center of the 
country is so rich in tradition as St. Louis, with its vari¬ 
colored episodes of French and Spanish strain that are 
woven into its vivid history. The lure of Spanish gold, the 
daring spirit of the French explorer, the romance born on 
the seven seas, the true aristocracy of Old Versailles and 
the innate refinement of Southern chivalry are the silent 
influences that speak in St. Louis styles, which some day will 
mean as much to the fair followers of Fashion as “Poiret” 
and “Paquin” mean today. 


Missouri Historical Society 


The Missouri Historical Society occupies a section of the Jef¬ 
ferson Memorial Building at the Lindell Boulevard entrance to 
Forest Park. Here in its archives the lover of history will find 
a complete collection of records, books and manuscripts and 
relics pertaining to the history of 
the country, both aboriginal and 
modern, particularly with refer¬ 
ence to Missouri and the Louisiana 
Purchase states. 

The student of early Western 
history will be fascinated by the 
remarkable collection of objects 
made by the Mound Builders, 
whose faces no white man ever 
saw, who lived where St. Louis 
now stands and whose earthen 
monuments gave to St. Louis the 
sobriquet of “The Mound City.” 

In the museum can be found one 
of the finest collections of Indian 

implements and weapons, includ- JEFFERSON 

ing the best single collection of “Ceremonials” in existence. 

The Society’s records contain the third largest and most com¬ 
plete collection of books and manuscripts relating to Thomas 
Jefferson; also an extensive set of papers and books and many 
personal letters of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. 

Its collection of Missouri newspapers, books, documents, and 
portraits is the best in existence. This includes practically all 
the French and Spanish archives, the original documents and 



transfer of the Louisiana Purchase, the official and private let¬ 
ters of many of Missouri’s citizens and statesmen, together with 
copies of all the early church records. 

Under glass cases repose many original manuscript records of 

the famous Lewis and Clark Ex¬ 
pedition and many odd and inter¬ 
esting relics of the Mexican War. 

The large array of firearms, 
dating from the earliest pioneer 
days, forms the most remarkable 
collection of Western firearms in 
existence. 

The Society’s collection of pho¬ 
tographs of soldiers of the World 
War is second to none. Its record 
of Missouri’s participation in that 
colossal conflict includes muster 
rolls, diaries, letters, war maps, 
plans, battle flags and weapons of 
every battle in which Missouri 
MEMORIAL. troops engaged. 

Perhaps the greatest asset to the completeness of the Society’s 
records is the incomparable library of 40,000 volumes, forming 
the best record of Indian and Western history existing today. 
Families from coast to coast come to consult it when in quest of 
genealogical records. The Misso ui Historical Society, financed 
entirely from a small endowme it and membership dues, is rap¬ 
idly placing itself on a par with the best historical and gene¬ 
alogical institutions in the United States today.

Forest Baric Zoo

St. Louisans take particular delight in taking their vis¬ 
itors to the Zoo in Forest Park, for the city’s large aggre¬ 
gation of specimens of animal life has become one of the 
chief zoological gardens in the country. Here the visitor 
sees not merely rows and rows of cages of birds and 
beasts, but he sees them in their native habitats—bears 
in huge “cageless” pits and sea lions in pools reminiscent 
of Arctic seas. 

The St. Louis Zoo occupies 72 acres, containing 230 
mammals, 520 birds and 160 reptiles and amphibians. 
Among its outstanding features are the largest bird cage 
in America, artificial lakes for aquatic animals and a 
mammoth “monkey mountain,” which will soon be con¬ 
structed, where the devotees of Darwin can commune 
with their relatives.” 

The representatives of the cat family are quartered in 
the Lion House—a beautiful, buff brick building provid¬ 
ing summer and winter quarters for lions, tigers, leop¬ 
ards, lynxes, pumas, hyenas, etc. 

Children find a perpetual source of amusement in the 
elephant house, the domicile of the Jumbo clan, that are 
as splendid specimens as Barnum’s finest. The rhi¬ 
noceros house, too, is always filled with open-mouthed 
youngsters. 

The Zoo has a number of outdoor cages—fox and wolf 
dens with a natural background of rocks and trees; pad- 
docks for grazing animals; alligator pools with the same 
habitat as if they were transported bodily from the lower 
Nile. A quacking armada is always maneuvering on the 
surface of the spacious duck pond, while stately swans 
silently swim the surface of a nearby lagoon. 

Perhaps the most unique portion of the Zoo is the 
Bruin Apartment, for here the nature lover can see every 
known specimen of the well-known Ursus tribe in ten 
massive pits, each sixty feet wide, forty-five feet high 
with no intervening bars between the public and the ani¬ 
mals. The rock formations of these pits are exact repro¬ 
ductions of the crags of the Ozarks which were con¬ 
structed at enormous expense. The result, however, is a 



true visual picture of the untamed wilderness from which 
the bears originally came, and as the spectator views 
these slow-footed, shaggy giants indulging in the luxury 
of a siesta in the shadow of a cool cliff or shaking them¬ 
selves after an icy dip in zero waters, he is impressed by 
the fact that the bears seem quite contented with their 
man-made homes. 

To enumerate all of the feathered, furry and finny resi¬ 
dents of the Zoo would be to take a roll call of Noah’s 
ark. They’re all there from every clime and country. 



CAGELESS BEAR PITS. 


In addition to the large hospital for convalescent ani¬ 
mals—a unique feature—and service buildings and rest 
rooms, the visitor to the Zoo will soon see a new giraffe 
house, a mammoth aquarium, and new barless lion’s dens, 
where the king of beasts can be viewed in a real jungle 
setting. These are but a few of the new additions pro¬ 
vided for in the large bond issue recently ratified by St. 
Louisans at the polls. 

The boy and girl of tomorrow who makes continued 
visits to the Zoo will learn more through observation 
about the creatures of the air above and the earth beneath 
and the waters under the earth than he could by poring 
over dry theses on natural history. It was with this 
forethought that St. Louisans voted in a body to make 
the St. Louis Zoo a monument of education and enter¬ 
tainment to posterity.

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


I

St. Louis has been a pioneer in the development of aeronautics 
in the United States, and will continue to lead in the future.' 

Because of its central geographical location, giving the widest 
area of flight in any direction of almost any city in the Western 
Hemisphere; because of its facilities for both hydroplane land¬ 
ing places and for aerial traffic throughout the Mississippi Val¬ 
ley; because of a topography more suitable for planing, and a 
climate practically free from fog; and because of St. Louis’ many 
facilities for landing fields, army and civilian flying schools. 

In the field of ballooning, St. Louis is pre-eminent. The first 
national balloon race and the first international balloon race 
ever held in the United States started from St. Louis in 1907, 
France, Germany and the United States competing. The inter¬ 
national balloon race of 1910 again started from St. Louis, and it 
was from St. Louis that the American long distance record flight 
of Hawley and Post began. It was in St. Louis that the first 
parachute drop from an aeroplane was made by Capt. John 
Berry. 

St. Louis and its vicinity has one of the largest aeroplane 
fields and army flying schools in the country (Scott Field), and 
boasts two other prominent flying fields, the Lambert field at 


Bridgeton and the government mail service field in Forest Park. 

Commercially, St. Louis is one of the largest air-mail centers, 
planes flying daily northward, eastward and westward, and main¬ 
taining schedule 97% perfect. 

St. Louis was chosen as the site for the Pulitzer Trophy Air 
Races for 1923, due to its ideal fall weather, the topography of 
the surrounding country, its central location, and its facilities 
for launching and landing both airplanes, dirigibles, balloons and 
hydroplanes. 

Already the St. Louis Air Board has approved plans for the 
organization of a corporation to foster commercial aerial navi¬ 
gation with St. Louis as a center of operations. The plans 
include the purchase of flying fields totaling 183 acres of land 
within seven miles of the city limits, the erection of hangars, 
machine shops, water system, gas and oil stations and a sub¬ 
stantial building for headquarters. 

Such a plan will assure St. Louis’ supremacy in the field of 
commercial and mail service flying—a position which makes the 
city the central station and cross-roads of air routes in all 
directions and afford it terminal facilities for mail and passenger 
service second to none in the country. 


Better Business Bureau 


The Better Business Bureau of St. Louis is one of the 
pioneer organizations of its kind in the United States, the first 
one having started in Minneapolis nine years ago. It is spon¬ 
sored by the Advertising Club of St. Louis and gains national 
scope through the National Vigilance Committee and thirty-six 
like organizations in various cities in the country. 

It is purely a service organization, not organized for profit, 
maintained and supported by merchants, banks, investment 
dealers, manufacturers and wholesalers. 

Its purpose is to make clear to all those doing business in 
St. Louis that the business interests of the city desire to give 
their customers the very highest protection, and by their con¬ 
tribution of money for the support of the Bureau have proved 
their sincerity. The trade territory tributary to St. Louis is 
thus assured of the desire on the part of St. Louis that those 
dealing in the city receive honest goods and honest service at 
an honest price. 

Its work is divided into two main branches. First, the pre¬ 
vention of fraud in advertising; and second, informing the pub¬ 
lic concerning doubtful and spurious investments. 

Specifically, the functions of the Bureau are educational, 
preventive, and punitive. 

Taxes—Past, Present and Future 

On $1,000 of Assessed Valuation, the Taxpayer has paid in Taxes 
for Bonds, and will pay as a result of the passage of the recent Bond 
Issue, as follows: 


In 1913.$3.70 per year! 

1916. 3.60 per year (. 

1919. 2.90 per year f 

1922. 2.20 per yearJ

1924 . 2.20 per year 

1927. 3.13 per year 

1930. 4.66 per year 

1933. 4.91 per year 

1936. 4.66 per year j 

1939. 4.44 per year 

1942. 4.24 per year 

1945. 3.31 per year 

1948. 2.04 per year 

1951.69 per year, 


Average, Last Ten Years, $3.10 


Average, Future Years. $3.36 


AVERAGE INCREASE IN TAXES ON A $1,000 Assessed 

Valuation .$0.26 per year 


If the recent Bond Issue had not passed a Municipal Tax Rate 
of 80 cents on a $1,000 valuation would have been immediately neces¬ 
sary for large amounts of improvements. 


It moves constructively, against nefarious practices used in 
the advertising and selling of securities and merchandise. 

It aids in the enforcement of laws to punish and prevent 
such practices. 

It helps the uninformed investor by providing Free Invest¬ 
ment Information about doubtful securities before he buys them. 
This service deals in facts, not advice. 

It acts as a clearing house for information concerning 
doubtful securities and their vendors. 

Through many avenues of publicity open to it, the Bureau 
warns against existing frauds and spreads a better understand¬ 
ing concerning sound investments. 

It co-operates with legitimate business in the development 
of p-ublic confidence in business. 

The Bureau can do these things best because it has no spe¬ 
cial interests to serve, and anyone who complains to it may be 
assured of fair consideration. 

The management of the Better Business Bureau is vested 
in a Board of Directors, made up of some of the most repre¬ 
sentative business men in the city, who devote their time un¬ 
selfishly to make it a greater and better organization for public 
service. 

The Truth About St. Louis Weather 

We might as well be frank about it. St. Louis suffers from the 
reputation of being- a terribly hot city. The incoming traveler who 
has sweltered in Chicago, melted in Kansas City, or gone "crazy with 
the heat” in Cincinnati, drops off the Pullman in St. Louis to be 
greeted by the comment, "hottest city in the United States.” 

It is a case of giving a dog a bad name. People talk about St. 
Louis’ hot weather without knowing the facts. A study of the records 
of the Weather Bureau for a period of years reveals that St. Louis is 
not as warm as many other cities. When St. Louis has a particularly 
torrid spell the rest of the country is also sweltering under tem¬ 
peratures that are frequently higher. 

As a matter of fact. St. Louis has an all-the-year-round climate 
that invites visitors. What rumor has fashioned into a liability is, 
in reality, an asset. St. Louis has the lowest percentage of humidity 
of eight of the larger American cities. This is shown by a survey, 
which shows the following percentage of humidity in the various 
cities: San Francisco. 80: New York. 73: Boston. 72.5: Buffalo, 71.5; 
Seattle. 69: Chicago, 67: Cleveland. 67: St. Louis, 62. And remember, 
humidity is the amount of moisture in the air; the condition of the 
climate that makes you feel the heat. 

In St. Louis the average temperature in winter is 33 degrees: in 
summer. 76 degrees. Its healthful climate is shown by the fact that 
it has the lowest infant mortality rate—76.5 per thousand—of any 
city of similar size. Its low humidity has attracted the attention of 
candy makers, who. as a matter of business, are interested in ideal 
atmospheric conditions. 

In any-twelve-month comparison with weather conditions in rival 
cities. St. Louis need not fear an intelligent verdict, for study of the 
facts will show that this citv possesses a very important asset eco¬ 
nomically, industrially, socially and healthfully in its equable 365-day 
climate.

A glance at the following figures compiled by the U. S. Department 
of Census for the year 1920 shows unquestionably the truth of the oft- 
repeated claim that the population of Greater St. Louis exceeds the 
one-million mark. It is a self-evident fact that long ago East St. 
Louis, the second city in Illinois, Granite City, Madison and Venice 
would have been incorporated within the geographical boundaries of 
the city were it not for the fact that they lie in another state and are 
separated from the city proper by the Mississippi River.

The statistics which follow offer an interesting study in the density 
of population of the leading cities of the country and also present a 
basis of comparison of growth of the various cities. Take St. Louis 
and Los Angeles, for example. The figures show that the population 
of the California city is spread over an area six times as great as 
St. Louis. With the same density of population as at present, St. 
Louis proper, given an area equal to Los Angeles, would have a popu¬ 
lation soaring above the four-million mark.

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 



Modern industry, with its thousand-handed machines, 
was developed from crude forms of manual labor. So, 
too, must a more economical, more central distribution 
systeip supplant the wasteful reaching back and forth 
over costly distances. Industries in competition with 
others more favorably located cannot continue indefi¬ 
nitely to pay high wages and production costs and at 
the same time be double-hauling raw materials and fuel 
thousands of miles to and from factories under a high 
level of freight costs. 

Distribution has today become a common problem in 
industry. Economical distribution does not begin at the 
edge of things, but at the center. Industries which are 
supplying their trade from the rim of the circle, far 
from the sources of raw materials and a long way from 
their markets, are doing business at a disadvantage. 

The long haul of manufacturing materials and finished 
products must give way to a central point of assembly 
and distribution. The true course of the raw material 
should ever be in the direction of the ultimate con¬ 
sumer. The transit route must continue into a terri¬ 
tory that has population, patronage and purchasing 
power. 

St. Louis manufacturers ship from the center—not 
the rim. Twenty-six railroads “to everywhere” and the 
Mississippi River bring in materials and carry out 
finished products. No other metropolis with equal dis¬ 
tribution facilities is so close to both basic materials 
and large consumption of finished products as is 
St. Louis. 

St. Louis shippers reach two-thirds of the United 
States with a shorter freight haul than those of any 
other big industrial center, besides shipping on one bill 
of lading to the ports of the world via U. S. river service 
at 20% under rail rates. 

It is economically unsound to pay transportation 
charges through St. Louis to eastern points on raw 
materials, manufacture them there, and ship the finished 
goods back to consumers in the Mississippi Valley— 
the St. Louis trade territory. It is like hauling goods 
from the center to the rim of the circle, and then hauling 
them right back again to the center, paying! costly 
take-it-there-and-bring-it-back freight charges both ways. 

A Mid-West factory in St. Louis would aid in solving 
your distribution problems. Ship from the center— 
not the rim. 



The ceasless flow of traffic over the municipal docks at St. 
Louis for barge shipment on the Mississippi River makes St. 
Louis the center of the nation’s inland shipping activities. 
Rail and river transportation facilities join at St. Louis, form¬ 
ing the crossroads of commerce at the center of the continent, 
and, continuing, follow the trade routes of the world. 

As a part of the daily movement over the St. Louis municipal 
docks, one sees shipments of sulphate of ammonia to Japan, 
tank plate to the oil fields of India, grain to Europe, paint 
to Porto Rico, mahogany from Central America, rare spices 
from Ceylon, sisal from Yucatan, cocoa beans from Callao. The 
railroads bring in grain from the Central West, furs from the 
frozen North, hides from the western plains, copper from the 
Rockies. 


Via St. Louis 

From St. Louis, the basic materials from all climes are deliv¬ 
ered to the markets of this country for manufacture. The fin¬ 
ished commodities, on their outward journey to world markets, 
pass the incoming rush of raw materials. 

Goods loaded into box cars at plants in St. Louis for water 
shipment are delivered to the ports of the world at water rates 
via U. S. river service at 20 per cent under rail rates. 

With 26 railroads “to everywhere” from St. Louis, and a 
Government barge line on the Mississippi River to New Orleans, 
shippers in St. Louis are able to reach all markets—domestic and 
foreign—at economical freight rates for almost straight-line 
delivery. 


St. Louis is a good city to live in, work in and play in.

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


59 



Time was when all industry, all commerce and the large ma¬ 
jority of population was in the East. The East was then the center— 
of commerce, industry and population. But gradually the center of 
population moved westward, and with it soared the cost of distribu¬ 
tion, a vexing problem to eastern industry. The East became dotted 
with industries whose raw materials and customers were 1,000 or 
more miles west, and whose workers had to be fed on the products 
of the West. 

As the United States developed, as the West developed, the logical 
marketing center, the center of population, of agriculture, of distribu¬ 
tion moved westward. These centers, as accompanying charts show, 
are located within a few hours’ ride of the “Center of Centers—St. 
Louis,” “the city surrounded by the United States.” 

In this age of strong competition, efficient production and eco¬ 
nomic distribution, is it any wonder then that industry is looking 
with ever-increasing favor on St. Louis, and that manufacturers see 
fit to “ship from the center—not the rim”—from St. Louis? 

As an industrial center, St. Louis is of first rank. It is the gate¬ 
way to the West and Southwest. It is entered by 26 railroad sys¬ 
tems (Sante Fe to be added shortly), whose total mileage is approxi¬ 
mately 80,000, and the locomotives of which are over 40 per cent of 
the total number in the United States. It stands at the head of the 
Mississippi Valley, the world’s greatest agricultural district. It is the 
center of the world’s greatest inland w r aterway system, 

St. Louis has more economic potentialities for money and trade 
than any of the other metropolitan centers of the United States, 
among which are the lowest fuel rates and its strategic position in 
the geographical center of the United States. 

St. Louis ships to two-thirds of the United States at cheaper 
freight rates than any other metropolitan industrial center. Raw ma¬ 
terials need not be brought 1,000 miles to St. Louis and then redis¬ 
tributed another 1,000 to the customers, for St. Louis is in the center 
of a vast trade territory, over 40,0i>0,000 people living within a radius 
of only 500 miles (a mere over-night run from St. Louis). 

Because of this feature, St. Louis-made goods can be bought 
cheaper by far in excess of one-third of the people of the United 
States than can those goods manufactured in any other metropolitan 
center. Not 50 mile-s from St. Louis is the center of the Illinois coal 
fields, one of the richest coal regions in the United States. Raw 
materials can move cheaply to St. Louis, here be manufactured into 
finished products, and then be distributed to the large trade territory 
of which St. Louis is the central distributing point, at a minimum 
cost and distribution expense to the buyer. 

That is why St. Louis is the world’s largest fur center, its largest 
car manufacturing center, its largest boot and shoe center, etc., etc., 
and that is why St. Louis is the only city in the United States to 
have both a Federal Land Bank and a Federal Reserve Bank. 

This is the panorama that is decentralizing slowly but surely the 
unwholesome, uneconomic congestion east of the Alleghanies. 

Competition 

Industries, in competition with others more favorably located, 
cannot continue indefinitely to pay high wages and production costs 
and at the same time be double-hauling raw materials, finished prod¬ 
ucts and fuel thousands of miles to and from factories under a high 
level of freight rates. 

The tendency of modern business is to eliminate the unnecessary 
handling of goods. The history of successful manufacture and the 
greatest net earnings throughout the world have shown a movement 
toward the centers of raw materials, assured fuel resources and near¬ 
ness to consuming markets. 

Economic distribution does not begin at the edge of things, but 
at the center. The long haul of manufacturing materials and finished 
products must give way to the central point of assembly and distribu¬ 
tion. Factories located in St. Louis “ship from the center—not the 
rim.” 

Until recent years the locating of a factory was more or less acci¬ 
dental. The original owner started in business wherever he happened 
to live, regardless of the accessibility to raw materials or markets, 
or of transportation facilities. Many factories which had been located 
in certain places, perhaps as often by accident as design, are no 
longer correctly situated. They are doing business at a disadvantage. 

The East is dotted with industries whose raw materials and cus¬ 
tomers are 1,006 miles west, and whose workers must be fed with food 
shipped a like distance. The East became the center of industry 
because the East originally was the center of population and com¬ 
merce. Time has changed this condition. The development of the 
country has pushed the population and market centers westward. 

“Overhead” 

Today American industries are seeking the center. This is an age 
of competition, production and economic distribution. The progressive 
manufacturer these days finds he cannot afford to consider sentiment 
and tradition in keeping pace with the shifting of the country’s com¬ 
merce and channels of trade. 

“Overhead,” that overwhelming thing which is one of the vital 
problems in industry today, cannot be pared with an ax, or super¬ 
vision will be lost. The process of bringing about economy must be 
coupled with opportunity. If your product is one whose success is 


based on the human factor whose market is figured on a population 
basis, you will find in St. Louis a situation worthy of watching and 
study. 

The success of the manufacturer depends upon the factors which 
enable him to meet competition. Among these are central location, 
transportation facilities, nearness to raw materials, available fuel and 
labor, and ability to reach markets on a competitive basis. 

If your problem is geographical, look at the map. If the popula¬ 
tion and market centers have grown aw'ay from you, perhaps a Mid- 
West plant in St. Louis would solve this regional problem in the 
national selling of your products. 

Distribution 

Distribution has become a common problem in industry. The 
processes of manufacture have been well-nigh perfected and costs 
scientifically allotted, but distribution methods have grown up full 
of waste. 

It is economically unsound to pay transportation charges through 
St. Louis to eastern points on raw materials, manufacture them there, 
and ship the finished goods back to consumers in the great St. Louis 
trade territory. St. Louis is the logical and cheapest point of manu¬ 
facture and distribution to the enermous markets in the Middle West, 
Far West, Southwest and the Mississippi Valley. 

St. Louis ships to two-thirds of the United States at cheaper 
freight costs than any other big industrial center. Your factory in 
St. Louis would not have to wait for a market to be developed. St. 
Louis has an established trade territory. It is ready for you to build 
a Mid-West plant, and has facilities to move your goods. 

St. Louis is an ideal point for fabrication in transit. By this Is 
meant the moving of raw materials in the direction of the ultimate 
market, selecting a manufacturing point en route where the materials 
can be combined with fuel, labor and transportation and then sent 
broadcast as finished products to the consumer at minimum trans¬ 
portation haul and cost. 

No other metropolis with equal distribution facilities is so close 
to both raw materials and large consumption of finished products as 
is St. Louis. 

This ideal condition means a two-way saving—a saving to your 
factory and to your customers. You pay the freight on basic ma¬ 
terials to your plant. Normally, the transportation charges on finished 
products are paid by the purchasers. 

The quick deliveries and saving in freight cost on finished goods 
make friends of your customers. The saving on raw materials is a 
welcome sound in your industrial cash register. It means either 
larger returns to you or gives you a wider margin for competitive 
price quotations. 

A Four-Sided Gateway 

St. Louis is a four-sided gateway. Its shipping facilities extend 
in all directions with a clear sweep to the markets of the country. 
The box-car and waterway barge form the connecting link between 
the producer and consumer. 

With twenty-six railroads “to everywhere” from St. Louis, and a 
Government barge service on the Mississippi River to New Orleans 
and Mississippi Valley points, industries in St. Louis are able to reach 
all markets, domestic and foreign, quickly by rail or river at economi¬ 
cal freight charges for almost straight-line delivery. 

No other large industrial city can reach out in so many directions 
with so many advantages, and directly command so many miles of 
producing and consuming territory on all sides, unbroken by large 
areas of water or other natural barriers. 

Railroad freight rates “break” at St. Louis. That is, shipments 
from points east of the Illinois-Indiana state line to territory west of 
the Mississippi River are subject either to full combination of separate 
local rates east and west of the river, or to fixed differences over 
rates from St. Louis to the West and Southwest. St. Louis shippers 
thus enjoy the lower basing rates against their long-haul competitors. 

Railroad congestion and embargoes, which periodically impede 
business in eastern seaports and cities, are avoided as to shipments 
from St. Louis throughout the Middle West. 

Package Car System 

St. Louis industries and wholesale houses have the benefit of a 
complete package-car system, coupled with a checking service that 
show's the actual time of arrival at destination. This fast-freight 
service for less-than-carload-lot merchandise was originated and built 
up at the suggestion of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce. It has 
been developed into the best delivery service radiating from any city 
in the country. 

More than 1,200 package cars leave St. Louis every night by 
through freight, serving points throughout the St. Louis trade terri¬ 
tory. Local trains pick up these mixed shipments at break-bulk 
points and continue on a connected schedule to the smaller towns. 

Service is the idea behind the package car. The shipment speeds 
straight to a scheduled destination. The buyers of commodities in St. 
Louis can make purchases close to the known needs of his locality, 
and can always be assured of quick and dependable delivery to meet 
changing conditions.

St. Louis’ Package Car Service 

St. Louis gives shippers a complete package car service, coupled with a checking system that 
shows the actual time of arrival at destination. This fast freight service on small orders was 
originated by St. Louis, and has been developed into the best delivery radiating from any city in 
the country, 

Service is the idea behind the package car. The shipment speeds straight to a scheduled 
destination. The buyer of commodities in St. Louis can make purchases close to the known needs 
of his locality, and can always be certain of quick and dependable delivery to meet changing 
conditions. 

More than 1,200 package cars with less-than-car-load lots leave St. Louis every night by through 
freight, by which these mixed shipments move on almost the same basis as express. Local trains 
pick up these shipments at distribution points and continue on a connected schedule to the smaller 
towns. 

This service, which is attracting business to St. Louis industries, is the ONLY package car 
system that shows the exact schedule to all break-bulk points, checks up on the movement of freight, 
and by monthly reports of the traffic department of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce shows the 
actual time of delivery of the merchandise. 

This is one of the ways which St. Louis is helping its industries and commercial houses to 
get and hold business. 

Your factory in St. Louis has these advantages.

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


61 


This quick-delivery system, which is attracting business to St. 
Louis industries, is one of the ways in which St. Louis is helping 
its industries and commercial houses to get and hold business. Your 
factory in St. Louis would have the advantage of this facility. 

Waterway Freight 

The Government-fostered river service representing an invest¬ 
ment to date of about $11,000,000 makes St. Louis virtually a seaport 
for export shipments by way of New Orleans. Through point rail 
and water rates put Mississippi Valley points and the fertile trade 
territory tributary to the river into direct trade communication with 
St. Louis industries. 



RIVER TRAFFIC—NEW AND OLD. 

The barge rates are a flat 20 per cent less than railroad rates, 
with the same bill of lading protection, and the delivery by barge 
can be made as quickly, in most cases, as by rail. 

This saving is a distinct advantage in close competition. It means 
a profit on goods which otherwise would have to be sold at cost, or 
at a loss, to hold trade in competition. 

The barge line is handling a rapidly increasing tonnage of great 
variety, and is gaining in popularity with shippers of all classes. 

Present equipment can handle 1,000,000 tons of freight annually, 
equal to 40,000 freight carloads, and at a saving under rail rates of 
$1 per ton. 

Municipal and Government docks and warehouses, costing more 
than $1.0 0.000, equipped with wharf sheds and modern mechanical 
devices for the prompt handling of freight to and from barges and 
from rail connections, have been built at St. Louis. 

Among the shipments to be seen arriving and departing from 
these wharf facilities are tank plate for oil fields in India and Mexico, 
sisal from Yucatan, coffee from Brazil, mahogany from Central 
America, sulphate of ammonia from Japan, agricultural implements, 
automobiles, wrought iron pipe, structural steel, wire rope, grain, etc. 

Dock construction is being continued, and the municipality prom¬ 
ises to supply whatever loading and unloading facilities are needed 
to meet traffic requirements. 

Export Trade 

St. Louis exporters enjoy geographic proximity and shorter hauls 
in reaching important export trade. 

St. Louis is the nearest dominant North American market to Cen¬ 
tral America, South America, West Indies and Mexico. 

The Mississippi Valley territory produces 50 per cent or more of 
the nation’s export commerce. St. Louis, in the heart of this great 
inland empire, connects it by strong and numerous rail and river 
routes with the Gulf, in the direction of empty railroad car movement. 

These transportation channels are particularly free from the fre¬ 
quently over-congested terminals and ports immediate to, and at, the 
North Atlantic Seaboard incident to east and west movement of traffic. 

Terminals and Switching 

The St. Louis industrial district has the largest joint terminal 
system in the country. The Terminal Railroad Association operates 
more than 600 miles of belt lines and switch tracks, which tap all 
industrial districts throughout the St. Louis and East Side sections, 
and connect with every railroad entering the city. 

The Municipal Belt Line, owned by the city, serves industries in 
the levee districts, and is used by the Terminal Railroad Association 
on a rental basis. This city-owned railroad gives direct connection 
with the municipal dock for the transfer of freight to and from cars 
and barges by electric cranes and equipment. 

Off-track universal freight stations at convenient locations are 
operated by public transfer companies in conjunction with the rail¬ 
roads, which enables shippers to dump and pick up miscellaneous lots 
of freight consigned via various railroads, and avoid trucking to and 
from individual railroad depots. This at no extra charge above St. 
Louis rates. , . x , .... 

This “dump system” service is a convenient and expeditious 
method of merchandise shipping that is unparalleled in any other 
large distributing center. 

lnterurban lines operating more than 500 miles of trolley tracks to 
Illinois points maintain commodious freight stations and yard facilities 


in St. Louis. Receiving and delivery stations are within easy access 
to St. Louis industries and commercial activity. 

lnterurban freight and express service to cities in Illinois is sup¬ 
plied by the Illinois Traction Company and the East Side interurban 
systems. Several trolley package trains enter and leave St. Louis 
every night with average service of about 55 cars. 

Fuel and Power 

Coal is absolutely controlling in industry, and cannot economically 
be transported any great distance. Coal is the basic raw material in 
the St. Louis industrial district. More than one-twentieth of all of 
the coal mined in the world is mined within a radius of 100 miles of 
St. Louis. 

The coal production in Illinois is about 73,920,000 tons annually. 
The local consumption is about 12,000,000 tons annually. This margin 
of surplus is so great as to assure an unlimited coal supply for St. 
Louis industries, regardless of the extent of the growth. 

St. Louis has a plentiful supply of coke for commercial purposes 
and blast furnace use. The task of carbonizing Illinois coal into by¬ 
product coke has been answered by the marvelous Roberts’ oven. The 
almost unlimited supply of coal adjacent to St. Louis now is avail¬ 
able not only for coke, but for the gas needed for refining and heat- 
treating purposes. 

Fuel oil is piped from the great mid-continent oil fields. There 
are several large oil refineries in the St. Louis district, and immense 
quantities of oil are constantly in storage and available for industrial 
use. 

Cheap rates for electricity for industrial purposes in St. Louis are 
the result of nearby cheap steam coal, and hydro-electric power trans¬ 
mitted from the Keokuk (Iowa) Dam. A $10,000,000 steam plant of 
240,000-kilowatt capacity is now under construction in the St. Louis 
district, which will provide plentiful power for even greater expansion. 

Labor 

St. Louis has had less labor troubles than any other large indus¬ 
trial center. The great diversity of manufacture and wide-spread of 
leading lines act as a constant balance, provide continuous work 
and stabilize wages, with a minimum of seasonal variation. 

The varied industries in St. Louis have trained a large supply of 
skilled labor, from which a nucleus for new expansion is readily 
available. The city has a substantial class of workers—male and 
female. 

St. Louis has long been recognized as a principal market for 
“common labor.” It has also a large supply of skilled and specialized 
mechanics in diversified lines. 

The St. Louis district has a female labor supply in industrial pro¬ 
duction occupations of approximately 53,000. This does not include 
the available labor of this type in jobbing and distributing lines. 

Raw Materials 

Any manufacturer whose raw materials are cotton, w T ool, copper, 
lead, zinc, limestone, coal, coke, fire clay, sulphur, salt or hardwood 
will be closer to the sources in St. Louis than in any other fully 
developed industrial community in the United States. 

Raw materials in the Mississippi Valley in dominant quantities 


are: 

Bead.World’s largest production 

Zinc.World’s largest production 

Barytes .U. S. A. largest production 

Fire Clay.U. S. A. largest production 

Kaolin.U. S. A. largest production 

Hickory .Largest supply in U. S. A. 

Ash .Largest supply in U. S. A. 

Oak .Largest supply in U. S. A. 

Cypress .Largest supply in U. S. A. 

Yellow Pine.Largest supply in U. S. A. 

Corn .85 per cent of U. S. A. production 

Hogs .81 per cent of U. S. A. production 

Wheat .76 per cent of U. S. A. production 

Cattle .74 per cent of U. S. A. production 

Cotton .70 per cent of U. S. A. production 

Petroleum.69 per cent of U. S. A. production 

Coal.6 > per cent of U. S. A. production 

Wool .55 per cent of U. S. A. production 

Sheep .52 per cent of U. S. A. production 

Instead of shipping these basic materials long distances for manu¬ 


facture. St. Louis plants reduce them into finished products close to 
the source. 

The Mississippi Valley 

The area of the vast territory in the Mississippi Valley is about 
1.725.000 miles, or 64 per cent of the total area of the United States. 
Approximately 70 per cent of the agricultural products (including live¬ 
stock; come from Mississippi Valley states. About 75 per cent of 
the country’s lumber and forest products, 60 per cent of the minerals 
and 70 per cent of the petroleum are found in this section. 

St. Louis lies closer to the center of agricultural population, closer 
to the center of cereal production, and closer to cotton production 
than any other great industrial city. It is the chief lumber market, 
leading wool and lead market, biggest hardwood market, and largest 
raw fur market in the United States. 

The billions of dollars of business done annually in this great 
St. Louis trade territory offers you an additional outlet for a Mid- 
West factory output. The manufacturer of commodities required in 
the daily needs of 50,000,000 people will find a prolific market in thi 3 
great Mid-West business tributary to St. Louis. 

Farm Production 

Well within the zone Known as the St. Louis trade territory, 
there is the following average annual produce yield: 


Corn .2,250.000 000 bu. 

Butter . 960,000.000 lbs. 

biggs . 915,000,000 doz. 

Oats .. 897,000,000 bu. 

Tobacco . 535,56^,000 lbs. 

Wheat . 466 000.000 bu. 

Potatoes . 107.(00,000 bu. 

Wool . 46.305.000 lb3. 

Hay . 38.800,000 tons 

Rice . 14,000,000 bu. 

Cotton . 7,618,000 bales

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 



Where Folks Work 
T ogether 

When 197,000 persons sat on a hillside in Forest Park back 
in 1914 and viewed the Pageant and Masque of St. Louis, enacted 
by 5,000 of their fellow-townsmen, the people of St. Louis learned 
to do things with unity. Out of this notable spectacle a new 
vision of the future was unfolded. The new spirit of St. Louis 
asserted itself. 

Nationally, the same unity of action put over the Liberty 
Loan campaigns and other war activities. St. Louis has put 
this concerted effort and collective enthusiasm to work for the 
community’s progress. 

The St. Louis Municipal Open-Air Theater was among the 
first of these great civic projects. Then followed the annual 
season of municipal opera; the St. Louis Fashion Show; the 
greater St. Louis Zoo; and now a $76,000,000 bond issue cam¬ 
paign for general civic improvements. 

The New Spirit 

This new spirit directed toward the city’s commercial aspects 
brought forth municipal docks to facilitate water traffic to the 
ports of the world; a package-car system of fast freight delivery 
service from St. Louis; and a rearrangement now under way of 
St. Louis’ 26 railroads and terminal facilities, increasing the 
already distinctive advantages of this big market. 

These are some of the ways in which St. Louis is helping its 
industries and commercial houses to get and hold business. 
St. Louisans are working together. 

St. Louis is a good city to live in, work in and play in. 

ST. LOUIS CHAMBER of COMMERCE 

St. Louis, U. S. A. 



St. Louis is America’s newest “seaport.” Government-operated 
towboats on the Mississippi River load 10,000 tons—more than 
350 carloads or 10 full trains—at the municipal docks in St. 
Louis and deliver it in New Orleans to one of the trans-Atlantic 
or trans-Pacific boats, which have a capacity of about 10,000 tons. 
Thus a towload at St. Louis becomes a shipload at New Orleans. 

St. Louis manufacturers ship on one bill of lading to the 
ports of the world via U. S. river service at 20 per cent under 
rail rates. They are sending their goods out through the 
Gulf of Mexico to world markets. Goods loaded into box cars 
at plants in St. Louis for river shipment are delivered to domestic 
or foreign ports at water rates. 

Municipal docks and warehouses equipped with mammoth 
cranes, wharf sheds and modern mechanical devices for the 
quick handling of freight to and from rail connections and these 
freight-carrying giants of the river make St. Louis the center 
of the country’s inland shipping activities. 

The Mississippi Valley produces 50 per cent or more of the 
nation’s export commerce. St. Louis, the dominant center of 
this vast producing area, connects it by strong rail and river 
routes to the Gulf, in the direction of empty railroad car 
movement. 

Twenty-six railroads “to everywhere” from St. Louis enable 
St. Louis shippers to reach two-thirds of the United States with 
shorter freight hauls than those of any other large industrial 
center. The transportation channels from St. Louis by rail 
and river are particularly free from the frequent congestion 
of rail routes and ports adjacent to the North Atlantic sea¬ 
board. 

Executives of manufacturing plants in the East must look 
toward St Louis for a solution of their distribution problems. 
A factory in St. Louis would have the advantage of this revival 
of the Mississippi waterway as a traffic outlet for exports, as 
well as for domestic shipments to points in the Mississippi 
Valley. The rail and water distribution facilities offer the 
shortest haul to markets of the Mid-West, South, Southwest and 
Far West. Ship from the Center—not the Rim.

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS

Multiply these yields by the market price of such commodities 
and you will get a partial idea of the enormous purchasing power 
in this territory, a source of revenue that has an annual recurrence. 
No other industrial market in the country can compare with St. Louis’ 
distribution facilities for reaching this prolific buying power. 


Largest Markets 

St. Louis is the largest market in the world in the following lines: 
Hardware, boots and shoes, sugar mill machinery, woodenware, steel 
furnaces, piston rings, barbers’ supplies, raw furs, horses and mules, 
stoves ana ranges, hardwood and pine. 

It has the largest individual manufacturing plants in the world 
making the following products: Shoes, drugs, lead, macaroni, brick, 
street cars, buggies, tobacco, lightning rods, terra cotta, stoves and 
ranges, ice cream cones. 

St. Louis is the largest market in the United States for: Millinery, 
lumber, wood, hats, coffins, bags, sash and doors, trunks, hides, 
drugs, chemicals, saddlery and harness, carpets and curtains, open- 
hearth steel castings. 

It has the largest individual manufacturing plant in the United 
States tor the following: Cotton and duck, flue cleaners, crushers and 
pulverizers, hydrogen peroxide 

Population 

The boundary limits of the City of St. Louis have not been 
extended in 44 years. No annexation of territory or population has 
taken place within that time. A movement is under way to take 
into the corporate limits of the city the immediate suburbs, which 
are an integral part of St. Louis. 

The ofncial Federal census of 1920 gives St. Louis a population of 
772,897 within its artificial geographic limits, an increase of 85,868 
in 10 years. 

This is divided as follows: Male, 3S3,438; female, 389,459. The 
foreign-born population is 103,239. 

This does not include the approximately 140,000 residents in St. 
Louis County who earn their livelihood and have their business 
interests in St. Louis. It does not include the 200,000 in East St. 
Louis, Mladison, Venice, Granite City and other East Side suburbs 
within the St. Louis industrial district. By including these immediate 
suburbs, the population of the St. Louis industrial zone is well over 
1 , 000 , 000 . 

Percentage of foreign-born to total population: St. Louis, 13%; 
Cleveland, 29%; Detroit, 29%; Chicago, 30%; Boston, 32%; New York, 
35%. 

Industrial Growth 

There is a stability in St. Louis’ industrial growth. St. Louis 
has never “boomed.” It just grew as the St. Louis trade territory 
grew. Its development has been steady and sound, and has not been 
spectacular. It has not been a “boom” town in any of its stages 
of development. 

St. Louis is not a one-industry city. It probably leads all other 
American cities in the volume of diversified production. St. Louis 
has a large number of magnificent industries, operating with high 
efficiency. This diversified efficiency has placed St. Louis in the 
lead of the markets of the world in several industrial lines. 

The new St. Louis spirit is pushing the city forward in industry 
and commerce. It has brought about a full realization of St. Louis’ 
resources and advantages by St. Louis. The city has grasped the 
possibilities of development. 

The great economic waste of transporting raw materials from 
the St. Louis region to eastern points for manufacture and reshipping 
the finished products to the great Mississippi Valley markets has 
caused progressive heads of industry to make a trade analysis of 
their business. ^ 

The result of these investigations has been that St. Louis stands 
out as the dominant manufacturing and distributing center from 
which all markets can be reached on a competitive basis. It cuts 
off the take-it-there-and-bring-it-back transportation expense. 

New Industries 

The unquestioned proof of this active movement toward St. Louis 
is that more than 100 new industries and 15,000.000 square feet of 
factory space have been built in St. Louis in the last five years. 
The new industries constructed 7,000,000 square feet of floor space, 
and the expansion of St. Louis plants caused 8,000,000 feet to be built. 

Recently some of the largest industries in the country have 
awakened to the possibilities of St. Louis as a production and distribu¬ 
tion center and are erecting immense plants here. 

In one district alone the new industries erected and in process of 
construction represent an expenditure of more than $20,000,000, the 
payrolls of which will provide sustenance for a population equal to a 
city of 70,000 people, giving employment to about 14,000 workers. 
This is only one section, and represents perhaps only one-half of the 
new industrial growth of St.. Louis. 

The General Motors Company with its new $7,000,000 plant, the 
United Drug Company with a new $3,000,000 factory, the Standard 
Underground Cable Company with a new $2,000,000 plant, the Atlas 
Tack Company, and the great Pullman car shops are among the big 
industries which recently chose St. Louis in preference to other 
cities. 

These new plants were not located in St. Louis by accident. The 
millions of dollars were spent only after a thorough business-like 
investigation of dollar-saving and profit-making. Other cities were 
under consideration; St. Louis was chosen because of its central 
location and obvious natural advantages, after the points advanced 
by other municipalities had been given careful study. 

Taxes 

The tax rate on real estate and personal property in St. Louis is 
$2.50 per $100 taxable value. This rate is divided as follows: City of 
St. Louis, $1.49; State tax, 13 cents; school tax, 88 cents. 

The stock and equipment of manufacturers and merchants is 
exempt from the above rate, and instead a merchants and manufac¬ 
turers, license tax is paid. This rate is. $1.25% per $100 on merchan¬ 
dise and stock on hand, and $1 per $1,000 on sales. This cheaper rate 
was adopted by the city for the express purpose of encouraging indus¬ 
try in St. Louis. 


Water 

St. Louis’ waterworks system has the largest rapid sand filtration 
plant in the world. Water is pumped from the Mississippi River 
above the city, and a clear, pure supply is distributed through the 
mains to homes and industries. The daily capacity of the plant is 
190,000,000 gallons. The average daily use is 102,000,000 gallons. As 
a result of the passage of the Bond issue February, 1923, a $ 12 , 000,000 
waterworks plant will be constructed practically doubling its capacity. 

The rate for large industrial users is 6 cents per 100 cubic teet. 
The water is double filtered, and is exceptionally desirable for all 
purposes. It shows a low percentage of objectionable elements. 

If desired, industries located near the river may, by approva. of 
the city, pump their water supply direct from the river with their 
own facilities without charge. , , , . 

Water in the East Side industrial district may be had in prac¬ 
tically unlimited quantities by driving wells 60 feet into the gravel 
strata. 

Health—Climate 

St. Louis is one of the most healthful cities in the United States. 
It leads all American cities in its low infant mortality rate, the acid 
test of healthfuiness. . .. ... 

The climate of St. Louis is so favorable that open-air activities 
can be enjoyed nine months in the year. It admits of open-air work 
more days per year than any other large industrial city in the coun¬ 
try. 

Living Conditions and Environment 

The living conditions, recreation facilities, schools and hospitality

St. Louis is a city of homes, home folks and a real community 
spirit. It is a good city to live in, work in and play in. It is proud 
of its reputation as a city of homes. 

The Coming Steel Center 

This is “The Age of Steel.” Metallurgical coke and iron are the 
foundation of manufacturing industry. The new coke plant of the St. 
Louis Coke and Chemical Company, at Granite City, Ill., opened to 
operation in March, 1921, and the new $2,000,000 rolling mill of Scullm 
Steel Company, in St. Louis, typify recent growth of the St. Louis 
district in coke, iron and steel making. 

Coke From Illinois Coal 

The old question about carbonizing Illinois coal into by-product 
coke for blast furnace use has been answered by the marvelous 
Roberts’ oven. The first unit of 80 ovens and a 590-ton blast furnace, 
in actual operation, making basic and foundry pig iron from coke 
made from Illinois coal is complete proof. 

The coke is of excellent structure and size, and runs less than 
12% ash, with a sulphur content of about nine-tenths of one per cent. 
The distillation of Illinois coal requires only fourteen hours. 

The coke analyzes:

The Furnace Yield 

Coke from Illinois coal produces lower loss of furnace yield than 
coke from West Virginia and Kentucky coal, and travels through 
the furnace making iron in 20% less time, which demonstrates its 
furnace efficiency. This results from its holding its size through the 
furnace, more rapid combustion and hotter blast temperature at the 
tuyeres at top of hearth. St. Louis blast furnaces are being charged 
with a mixture averaging 60% Lake Superior district ore and 40% 
Southeast Missouri ore, which, with local limestone, comprises raw 
materials. 

Ore and Steel Rates 

All-rail freight rates on Minnesota and Wisconsin ores to St. 
Louis are as low, and lower than rail-lake-rail rates to Pittsburgh, 
by recent order of the Interstate Commerce Commission. 

A fleet of special-type modern steel towboats and barges, built 
for the express purpose, will operate between St. Louis and St. 
Paul, carrying ore south at still lower rates, and Illinois coal back 
to the Northwest. 

St. Louis is a large and dominant steel scrap market; commands 
on the short haul a large scrap-producing territory throughout the 
mid-continent oil fields and agricultural belt, and is the principal 
buyer of the scrap produced by most of her twenty-six railroads. 

Freight rates on iron and steel articles to territory west of the 
Mississippi River are less by $9 per net ton from St. Louis than from 
Pittsburgh, the price basing point. 

The Coke Magnet 

St. Louis’ strategic position for the economical assembling of 
raw materials in steel making and distribution of products is supreme, 
and its future growth in this line is assured. Those firms whose 
business is dependent upon or allied with the making of steel can 
well afford to consider these facts in deciding upon a location. 

Two major industries have been influenced by the success of 
the new coking process to choose the St. Louis district for plant 
locations. The American Locomotive Company bought 150 acres of

St. Louis—Its Trade Zone 

ST. LOUIS is one big city in the United States that is going out into its trade zone to get business 
for its industries and wholesale houses. When other cities, and business in general, were retrenching and 
waiting for times to improve, St. Louis appropriated city fluids to go out and make business better. It 
conducted an advertising campaign in its trade zone to bring merchants to St. Louis to buy goods. Jt is 
spending $50,000 this year to build business for St. Louis. 

Advertisements in 90 newspapers in 14 States last Spring gave definite reasons why it is profitable 
for merchants to buy their stocks in St. Louis. This was followed for the Pall season by advertise¬ 
ments in 129 newspapers in 19 States. The St. Louis Fashion Show—of international reputation—in 
the Municipal Open-Air Theater in Forest Park furnishes these buyers with an annual exposition of latest 
styles. The success of this new spirit of municipal co-operation is shown by these unsolicited comments 
from newspapers in widely separated cities: 


St. Louis is engaged in a novel advertising campaign. It is 
a campaign to boost the city, with the principal emphasis on 
its market facilities. Tooting its own horn in this fashion, St. 
Louis will spend $50,000 this year. 

Messenger & Chronicle, Ft. Dodge, Iowa. 

Among the go-ahead concerns of the present time must be 
listed the City of St. Lou's. The Chamber of Commerce goes 
forth in modern merchandising spirit and "sells” St. Louis. 

Wichita Eagle, Wichita, Kan. 

The merchants of St. Louis are driving after business in a 
wide area. They have facts and figures, and are certainly live 
wires. Marion Daily Chronicle, Marion, Ind. 

In an out-of-the-ordinary advertisement, the St. Louis 
Chamber of Commerce makes a strong appeal to the merchants 
of the South to buy in St. Louis. The key of their appeal is 
that the shorter freight haul aids in reducing selling prices.

St. Louis Churches 



A GROUP OF CHURCHES—KINGSHIGHWAY BOULEVARD. 


The church records of St. Louis date back to 
1766. The Cathedral block on Walnut Street is 
one of the oldest church sites west of the Mis¬ 
sissippi, while the church site in our Illinois 
suburb of Cahokia is the oldest in the Missis¬ 
sippi Valley. From St. Louis churches, Catholic 
and Protestant, went out the missionaries who 
did the pioneer work of religion in the West. 

The Old Cathedral occupies the site of the first 
church built in St. Louis, shortly after the land¬ 
ing of Laclede in 1764. Pope Gregory conferred 
favors on this old cathedral which no other 
church in the world has except the Basilicas in 
Rome. 

Christ Church Cathedral, the mother church of 
the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri, is the first 
Protestant church founded west of the Missis¬ 
sippi River. Its imported altar is one of the 
finest in America. 

St. Louis churches illustrate the noblest archi¬ 
tecture, from, classical Greek and pure Gothic to 
Byzantine, Greco-Roman and the Renaissance 
styles of Northern Europe. Twentieth Century 
influences are represented by magnificent struc¬ 
tures west of Grand Avenue. North and South St. Louis have 
churches of noble architecture and historical interest. In ad¬ 
dition to modern languages, Latin, Greek, the Syriac of the time 
of Christ and the Hebrew of the age of the Prophets are heard 
in services connecting the present with what is most memorable 
in the past. . 

The New Cathedral is the seat of the Catholic Church in St. 
Louis, and is said to be the largest and most magnificently fur¬ 
nished cathedral in the country. The structure cost $3,250,000, 
the main altars $100,000, and the organ $50,000. 

The oldest church, oldest cathedral, first university and first 
hospitals of the city were founded by Catholics. At the laying 
of the corner stone of the new cathedral, the parishes repre¬ 
sented included twenty-four American, twenty-one German, four 
Polish, one Slavak, one colored, one Croatian, one Syro-Ma-ronite, 
three Italian, two Bohemian and one Greek-Ruthenien. This 


denomination supports the institutions of its church with un¬ 
stinted liberality. 

Today the city shows its religious life in many costly edifices 
erected by denominations representing many names, countries 
and creeds, with each doing its own work unhampered, and all 
ready to join in helpfulness for the city’s good. The eloquence of 
the pulpit, the beauties of instrumental music, the charm of the 
voices of trained singers, and all that makes religion attractive 
to the mind, are incidents of liberality which not only gives 
wealth freely to religion, but gives more, showing the meaning 
of religion itself in the liberality of mutual helpfulness when 
volunteer work for the common welfare is to be done above all 
lines of division. 

The moral atmosphere in St. Louis is as good as any metropolis 
in the country, and better than in most large communities.

St. Louis is the center. A Mid-West factory in St. Louis, from where rail and water facilities 
have a clear sweep to the markets in every direction, gives shortest hauls to two-thirds of the 
United States at cheaper freight charges than from New York, Chicago, or other large industrial 
points.

WHERE YOU SAVE MONEY ON FREIGHT CHARGES 


The tendency of modern business is to elim¬ 
inate unnecessary handling of goods. If you 
are reaching your raw materials and your mar¬ 
kets from the edge of things, instead of from 
the center, you are doing business at a disadvan¬ 
tage. The history of successful manufacture and 
the greatest net earnings throughout the world 
have shown a movement toward the centers of 
raw materials, assured fuel resources and near¬ 
ness to consuming markets. 

The far-sighted heads of industry who are look¬ 
ing to the future and are solving the problems 
of production and distribution NOW will be the 
successes of the prosperous days ahead. 

The map above shows why St. Louis is the cen¬ 


ter of economical production and distribution. 

No other metropolis with equal distribution 
facilities is so close to basic materials, fuel re¬ 
sources and large consumption of finished prod¬ 
ucts. St. Louis is the market of the Mississippi 
Valley, Middle West and Far West—the most 
rapidly developing territory in the United States. 

St. Louis manufacturers reach two-thirds of 
the country’s buying power with a shorter 
freight haul and better service via 26 railroads 
and the Mississippi River than those of New 
York, Chicago and other big industrial points— 
besides shipping on one bill of lading to the 
ports of the world via U. S. river service, at 20 
per cent under rail rates.

The Center of Populat 

The Gravity Point of Industry 


ion 




You are a manufacturer. You obtain raw materials, and 
you fabricate them into marketable products, for sale to con¬ 
sumers—somewhere—in the United States. The number of 
potential customers is based on population. It is people you are 
trying to reach and serve. 

The expression “Center of Population” means one thing 
to a professor of geography, and another thing to a railroad 
man; but to you, the manufacturer of goods for national dis¬ 
tribution, it means more than to all the others combined! 

The Eastern Seaboard was settled first, so the first factories 
were built there. The country grew; the middle west and 
then the far west were settled, and are still being settled by a 
sturdy, producing and buying people. 

In 1800 “The Center of Population” was 18 miles west 
of Baltimore. By 1850 it had reached the Alleghenies. Then 
the Moving Finger passed the crest, and in 1870 was near 
Cincinnati. For a half century it has pointed its way west- 
ward, across Ohio and Indiana. Today it marks a spot only 
a short distance east of St. Louis; and in a few more years it 
will reach “The City Surrounded by the United States. It 
is moving more slowly now, and scientists tell us that it wil 
never go farther than fifty miles to the west of St. Louis; 
because it is a center —not a rim —and the two oceans, the 
gulf the desert, and the cold north set their own limitations. 

As time passed, eastern factories enlarged to supply 
increased demands near home and also,, with the extension of 
our railroad systems, to serve an increasingly distant patronage, 
100 miles, 500 miles, 2000 miles away. 

But, factories sprang up in line with the inexorable progress 
of that “Center of Population.” In order to reach their custom¬ 
ers, eastern producers paid more and more, in transportation, 
and faced a growing western competition while their own 
advantages were still confined to their original local territory 

Note the wide variety of merchandise commodities that 
are distributed in carload lots. It would take pages to give 
a complete list, but a few of these items are. . , 

Agricultural implements, boiler and machinery parts, food 
preparations, paints, sheet lead, iron and steel castings, forg¬ 
ings, stampings and structural forms, acids and heavy chem¬ 
icals, generators and electrical parts, oil well supplies, plumbing 

items and door hangers. . .. 

Within ten years the freight rate on hundreds of items, 
from the North Atlantic seaboard to Mississippi River terri¬ 
tory, increased approximately from 35 cents to 55 cents per- 
cwt. while in less than car lots the average rate increased from 
59 cents to $1.10. Take your pencil and apply these increases 

to 2/°^^ P faere are factories i n or near St. Louis that make 
the same articles that formerly were shipped from the Atlantic 
Seaboard. Eastern factories cannot always compete with that 


disadvantage in freight rates. The day is past when a factory 
can shrug its shoulders at a high rate and say, “Charge it up 
to the consumer,” because things now are figured closely, and 
every penny is shown in the accounting. 

Twenty years ago there were fewer than 500 factories in the 
St. Louis Industrial District; today there are more than 4000. 
Those that are here are prospering and expanding, and new 
industries continually are seeking a location here. WHY? 

Because, more and more, factories are depending on 
volume to distribute their overhead, and assume net earnings. 
Their distribution must be among a large number of people; 
but the larger the territory, the longer the haul, and staring 
them in the face, is that enormous increase in rates in one 
decade. 

They need more customers, located, within an economical 
radius, so that the freight will not eat up the profits, and so 
they can avoid undue costs. 

What is the logical answer? 

Either re-establish your operations at or near St. Louis, or 
transfer your western business to a factory branch in St. Louis. 

“The shortest distance between two points is* a straight 
line,” and the shorter the line, the more quickly and econom¬ 
ically you reach its end. 

The ideal location for a factory is a point near both raw 
materials and markets, thus reducing back-hauls to a minimum. 

Use the advantages St. Louis offers: Central location; 27 
railroads; 1200 package cars daily, to all principal points in the 
United States, “over night—most anywhere;” and waterway 
transportation to the Port of New Orleans, at 20% less than 
all-rail rates. 

A single barge-tow often runs as high as 11,000 tons— 
equalling 500 freight car loads, or 10 trains, each 50 cars long. 

St. Louis factories are using this barge service, via New 
Orleans, with steamship service to Gulf and Pacific Coast 
points, at rates either as low or lower than the all-water rates 
from New York. 

Please do a little investigating for yourself. Write person¬ 
ally to the executive of any St. Louis factory, and ask him 
to tell you what he thinks of his experiences here, and why he 
believes that St. Louis is a fine place in which to manufacture 
for national distribution. Ask him about labor, taxes, trans¬ 
portation, raw materials, water supply, schools, police protec¬ 
tion. On request we will send; you a printed list of about 
5000 manufacturers and jobbers in St. Louis. 

And ask us any sort of a question you want to. The real 
thing to consider is what "Center of Population” actually 
means to your business, now, and in the future, and whether 
you can always afford to operate on the rim of things instead 
of from the center.

Cost of Living Lower in St Louis than in Any 
Other Metropolitan City in the United States 

as Evidenced by Report of U. S. Dept, of Labor, 
as of December 15, 1922 

The following 44 staple articles of food were compared as to 
price in the following named cities, with the result that in every 
instance the total cost of the articles named was higher than in 
St. Louis, with the percentage of cost above St. Louis’ figures as 
indicated: 

Sirloin Steak 
Round Steak 
Rib Roast 
Chuck Roast 
Plate Beef 
Pork Chops 
Bacon 
Ham 

Lamb, leg of 
Hens 

Salmon, canned, red 
Milk, fresh 
Milk, evaporated 
Butter 

Oleomargarine 
Nut Margarine 
Cheese 
Lard 
Crisco 

Eggs, strictly fresh 
Eggs, storage 

Bread _ ... 

Percentage of the Cost of Living in the following cities above 
the Cost of Living in St. Louis: 

Atlanta . 5.0% Kansas City, Mo. 2.2% 

Baltimore . 1.1% Los Angeles. 7.9%. 

Boston . 18.8% New Orleans. 1.0% 


Flour 

Corn Meal 
Rolled Oats 
Corn Flakes 
Cream of Wheat 
Macaroni 
Rice 

Beans, navy 
Potatoes 
Onions 
Cabbage 
Beans, baked 
Corn, canned 
Peas, canned 
Tomatoes, canned 
Sugar, granulated 
Tea

Cleveland . 6.3% Pittsburgh . 10.7% 

Dallas . 12.9% Portland, Ore. 1.9% 

Denver . 0.7% Seattle . 3.6% 

Detroit . 4.2% U. S, Average..... 5.9% 

This same range of percentages holds for clothing and general 
household necessities. 

The same average of saving in living costs in St. Louis as com¬ 
pared with these cities is static for the entire year of 1922. 


Cheap Coal Makes for Low Electric Rates in St. Louis 

St. Louis and Cleveland lead the fifteen largest cities of the United 
States in low electric rates for residences, according to announce¬ 
ments of the Union Electric Light & Power Company. After these 
cities, the rank, according to the rates charged are as follows: 
Detroit, Buffalo, Chicago, Milwaukee. Los Angeles, Philadelphia, 
Pittsburgh, New York, Cincinnati, Baltimore, San Francisco, Newark 
and Boston. ___ , 

The low rates in St. Louis are made possible by the advantages 
of cheap coal and Keokuk power, among other things, the company 
states. 


Bank Clearings 

Bank Clearings between cities do not reflect the amount of indus¬ 
trial activity, as the following example will show. Suppose an 
Emporia, Kan., stock grower sells $10,000 in cattle to a business man 
in Wichita; the common method is to draw a draft against the 
purchaser. The Emporia stock grower draws a draft on the Wichita 
buyer in the amount of $10,000 and deposits this with his bank for 
credit. His bank having no direct connection with the Wichita bank 
in which the buyer has his account, passes the draft on to its 
Kansas City correspondent bank where the draft is credited through 
the clearing house, and finally the account is recognized by the 
Wichita bank, which also has a representative in the Kansas City 
Clearing House. Now, no transaction occurred in Kansas City, 
nothing was bought there, no money was taken out of Kansas City, 
yet, because the clearing house was located in Kansas City the bank 
clearings of Kansas City swelled. However, if only deposits to indi¬ 
vidual accounts were to be shown, the true conditions would be 
reflected and Kansas City would not have credit for transactions 
which never occurred in Kansas City or which would not even affect 
Kansas City. Bank clearings are both unreliable and reflect untrue 
conditions, and therefore a statement of comparative bank clearings 
between cities is misleading and is no index to industrial activity. 
This is evidenced by the fact that the Federal Reserve Board no 
longer regards bank clearings as authentic, but uses deposits to indi¬ 
vidual accounts as the proper index. When this basis is used figures 
of the Federal Reserve Board prove beyond a doubt that industrial 
activity in St. Louis is over twice as great as in Kansas City.

A War Stamp Tax of 1 cent for each postage charge of 25 cents or 
iractional part thereof must be paid by means of internal revenue stamps 
affixed on parcels of fourth-class matter on which the postage amounts 
to 25 cents or more. 

The Special-Delivery Fee is 10 cents in addition to the regular postage. 

The Limit of Weight of fourth-class matter is 70 pounds for parcels 
mailed for delivery within the first, second, and third zones, and 50 pounds 
for all other zones. Parcels for the American Expeditionary Forces in 
Europe may not exceed 7 pounds. 

Limit of Size.—Parcel post matter may not exceed 8 4 inches in length 
and girth combined. In measuring a parcel the greatest distance in a 
straight line between the ends (but not around the parcel) is taken as 
its length, while the distance around the parcel at its thickest part is 
taken as its girth. For example, a parcel 35 inches long, 10 inches wide, 
and 5 inches high measures 65 inches length and girth combined. 

Name and Address of Sender.—A parcel of fourth-class matter may 
not be accepted for mailing unless it bears the name and address of the 
sender, which should be preceded by the word “From” and be less con¬ 
spicuous than that of the addressee. 

Inscriptions, such as “Merry Christmas,” “With best wishes, “Do not 
open until Christmas,” or words to that effect may be written on fourth- 
class mail, or on a card inclosed therewith. 

Communications Attached to Parcels.—When it is desired to send a 
communication with a parcel on which postage at the fourth-class rate 
has been fully prepaid, the communication may be placed in an envelope 
fully prepaid at the first-class rate and addressed to correspond with the 
address on the parcel and then be tied to or otherwise securely attached 
to the outside of the parcel in such manner as to prevent its separation 
therefrom and not to interfere with the address on the parcel. The stamps 
to cover the postage on the parcel must be affixed to the wrapper of the 
parcel, and those to pay the postage on the communication must be affixed 
to the envelope of the communication. Parcels to which such communica¬ 
tions are attached are treated as fourth-class matter. Only one special- 
delivery fee is required on such parcels sent as special-delivery matter. 
Communications may be attached to third-class matter under the same 
conditions. , , _ ... 

Place of Mailing.—Parcels of books, seeds, and plants, weighing more 
than 8 ounces, and parcels of other four-class matter weighing more than 
4 ounces must be mailed at a post office, branch post office, named, num¬ 
bered, or lettered station, or delivered to a rural or other carrier duly 
authorized to receive such matter; they are not mailable at railway post- 
office cars. Smaller parcels may be deposited in letter or package boxes. 

Sender’s Receipt for Ordinary Parcel.—When desired, a receipt is fur¬ 
nished the sender of an ordinary fourth-class parcel by the mailing office 
upon payment of one cent. This fee does not insure the parcel against 
loss and no receipt is obtained from the addressee on delivery. If either 
of i’he latter facilities is desired, the insurance service should be patronized. 


INSURANCE OF FOURTH-CLASS MAIL. 

Fees and Conditions.—Fourth-class or parcel-post matter mailed at or 
dressed to any post office in the United States or its possessions, or on 
to United States naval vessels, except parcels containing honey bees, 
e animals, fowls, etc., and parcels mailed in the Philippine Islands, may 
insured against loss, rifling, and damage upon payment of a fee of 3 


cents for actual value not exceeding $5, a fee of 5 cents for actual value 
not exceeding $25, a fee of 10 cents for actual value not exceeding $50, or 
a fee of 25 cents for actual value not exceeding $100, in addition to the 
postage, both to be prepaid with stamps affixed. Fourth-class matter may 
not be registered unless sealed and the first-class rate of postage is paid. 

Parcels intended for insurance must not be dropped in letter boxes or 
ordinary mail drops. When a parcel is insured, a receipt evidencing that 
fact will be furnished the sender. 

Return Receipts for Insured Parcels may be obtained by indorsing the 
parcels “Return receipt desired.” 

COLLECT-ON-DELIVERY SERVICE. 

Fees and Conditions.—Parcels of fourth-class (parcel-post) matter, ex¬ 
cept honey bees, live animals, fowls, etc., and parcels mailed in the Philip¬ 
pine Islands, may be sent “C. O. D.” from any domestic money-order post 
office to another and from or to United States naval vessels having money- 
order service on payment of a fee of 10 cents in addition to the postage 
when the amount to be remitted to the sender does not exceed $50 or on 
payment of a fee of 25 cents when the amount to be remitted does not 
exceed $100. Parcels on which the remittance is $50 or less but on which 
because of the value of the inclosure, insurance exceeding $50 is desired, 
may have a 25-cent fee paid, at the option of the sender. Both postage 
and fee must be prepaid with stamps affixed. The remittance is made by 
post-office money order, the fee therefor being included in the amount col¬ 
lected from the addressee. A “C. O. D.” tag, furnished by the postmaster, 
must be filled in by the sender and attached to the parcel. The “C. O. D.” 
fee also covers insurance against loss, rifling, damage, and nonreceipt of 
returns up to $50 actual value when a 10-cent fee was paid and $100 
actual value when a 25-cent fee was paid. 

A Receipt is given to the sender of a “C. O. D.” parcel at the time of 
mailing, but no return receipt is furnished, as the remittance shows that 
delivery has been made. 

PREPARATION AND WRAPPING OF MAIL MATTER. 

Examination.—Fourth-class or parcel-post matter must be so wrapped 
or enveloped that the contents may be examined easily by postal officials. 
When not so wrapped, or when bearing or containing writing not author¬ 
ized by law, the matter will be treated as of the first class. . 

Fragile Articles.—Articles easily broken must be very securely wrapped 
for safe transmission and marked “FRAGILE.” 

Perishable Articles.—Parcels containing perishable articles shall be 
marked “PERISHABLE.” It is advisable that such parcels be sent as 
special-delivery matter by affixing stamps for the special-delivery fee ir 
addition to the regular postage, thus expediting their delivery. Articles 
likely to spoil within the time reasonably required for transportation and 
delvery shall not be accepted for mailing. 

Forwarding and Return.—A new prepayment of postage at the rate 
applicable between the forwarding office and the one to which fourth-class 
matter is to be forwarded must be made by the addressee or by some one 
for him each time it is forwarded. A parcel can not be forwarded to a 
person other than the original addressee. A new prepayment of postage

state: designated roads 



Were it not for the fact in ancient times that all roads led 
to Rome, the City of the Seven Hills would have had consider¬ 
able difficulty in holding its scattered colonies into a unified 
empire. Equally important today is the position of St. Louis 
to the rest of the State of Missouri—a position that is dependent 
in a large measure upon the facility of intercourse between 
the city and the adjacent and remote corners of the state. In 
one word this means ROADS, and Missouri has again set the 
pace in the construction of good roads by the adoption of a 
$60,000,000 State Bond Issue to be used for the construction of 
6,000 miles of hard-surfaced highways that will stretch up and 
down and crosswise through the state. 

During the past five years $25,000,000 of road bonds have 
been issued by counties and civil subdivisions. In addition to 
this $12,000,000 of Federal aid has been matched by the state 
and counties of Missouri. And now arrangements have been 
completed which guarantee the watching of all Federal aid that 
may be available, estimated at $35,000,000 for Missouri, during 
the next ten years. 


At the present time there are more than $20,000,000 worth 
of state roads alone under contract, and more than $10,000,000 
worth of construction has been completed during 1922. 

St. Louis County has completed all of her trunk or main 
highways at a cost of approximately $5,000,000, and has more 
than $1,000,000 still available, which will be increased by State 
and Federal funds. 

The general and special road laws of the State have been 
revised and a more effective plan for constructing and maintain¬ 
ing roads has been adopted. 

At the present rate of construction the State Highway De¬ 
partment contemplates the completion of all roads affected by 
the State Bond Issue within the next five years. The work is 
progressing with leaps and bounds, without ceremony and red 
tape, and soon the whole state will be literally “lifted out of 
the mud” and traffic will be moving ceaselessly on solid, endur¬ 
ing highways that will link St. Louis to every city and town of 
'the state, resulting in a more frequent intercourse and in mutual 
prosperity.

The St. Louis Chamber of Commerce—A Civic Asset 


One of the main reasons directly responsible for the advance¬ 
ment of industrial, commercial and civic betterment in St. Louis 
is the constant, unified action of nearly five thousand leading 
business men of the city. We refer to the St. Louis Chamber 
of Commerce, whose past achievements and present activities 
would fill volumes of civic history. 

Among the recent outstanding accomplishments of this dy¬ 
namic body are the annual savings of over $300,000 annually 
effected by securing transit privileges on lumber shipments 
passing through the St. Louis market and the restoration of 
uniformity of freight service between Chicago, St. Louis and 
eastern terminals at a saving of $1,000 daily to St. Louis shippers. 

Its interest in transportation is shown by the preparation of 
a complete study of local terminal facilities with the view of 
making St. Louis one of the largest shipping terminals of the 
world. The Chamber also aided in the passage of the $60,000,000 
bond issue amendment for the betterment of state-wide roads. 

To maintain the high standard of health kept by the city, 
the Chamber of Commerce organized the “Public Health Sub¬ 
division” composed of 100 leading physicians to protect the 
present status of the city’s health. It even introduced safety 
talks into the public school curriculum, with a subsequent re¬ 
sult of 50 per cent reduction in deaths by accident, thus making 
St. Louis the safest city in the country. 


The Chamber continually reviews the work of all charitable 
and philanthropic organizations of the city and by so doing 
protects its members against unworthy charities. 

The activities of this alert organization reach far beyond the 
confines of the city. It supplied a shortage of farm labor by 
sending several thousand men to Kansas to help harvest the 
wheat crop; it sent a delegation of 112 business men on a 12- 
day tour to Mexico in the interest of good will and friendly 
relations. Through its Traffic Bureau, St. Louis was the first 
city in the United States to restore package car service to 
Mexico City. 

The Chamber maintains a number of bureaus to take care 
of its tremendous work, such as Charities, Development Service, 
Foreign Trade, Industrial, Municipal Development, Furniture 
Board of Trade, Safety Council, Publicity, Sales Managers, Traffic 
and Membership Bureaus—names which in themselves are indi¬ 
cative of the varied activities of this progressive body. 

These bureaus are never too busy to discuss and confer with 
the St. Louis business man regarding any of the problems which 
confront him and by this self same spirit of untiring service, 
which has characterized the Chamber of Commerce, St. Louis 
will ever move forward in its race for industrial and civic su¬ 
premacy in the struggle of the cities. 


The 


Work of 


the Advertising Club of St. 

By W. B. WEISENBURGER, President 


Louis 


After the Advertising Club of St. Louis had its world advertis¬ 
ing club convention in 1917 it found itself. Never before had 
its own capacity or its own ability demonstrated itself until that 
wonderful meeting, which, even today is looked on as a standard 
for advertising club conventions. Since that date the Advertis¬ 
ing Club of St. Louis has gone with leaps and bounds. In 1917 
it had a membership total of 500 members. Today, just at the 
conclusion of a most successful membership campaign it has 
1,000 members and a waiting list. From a small office it now 
has pretentious and luxurious quarters in Hotel Statler. 

But what is the Advertising Club of St. Louis doing for its 
city? Briefly it can be divided into several distinct groups: 

First. Community advertising and business building. 

Second. Better Business Bureau work. 

Third. Educational work. 

Fourth. Creating better fellowship and spirit among advertis¬ 
ing men. 

Let us consider Number One. Notable among its achievements 
in a community way are these: 

Creating the idea of the Municipal Opera which has made St. 
Louis known everywhere. 

Helping finance the St. Louis Symphony Society in its early 
and wobbly stages. 

Getting behind the census agent, enabling him to place on St. 
Louis’ roll every citizen who ought to be listed. 

Formation of a Pennant Rooters’ Club to give a civic point of 
contact to the baseball teams. 

Carrying out a Move-More-Merchandise conference and forma¬ 
tion of a Move-More-Merchandise Association with the purpose 
of making this city headquarters in not only stocks for the 
retailer, but information on how to sell more goods. 

Co-operating with the bond issue committee in putting over an 
$87,000,000 bond issue which will make improvements in this 
city that will make it the talk of the country. 

Promotion of a community advertising campaign. 

Second. Better Business Bureau work. 

The Advertising Club of St. Louis has always looked on vigi¬ 
lance work as one of the mainstays and the backbone of its or¬ 
ganization. Without truthful advertising there can be no con¬ 
fidence in advertising. With daily abuses of the higher codes 
and ethics of advertising it is essential that the city and the 
business community have some tangible representation of the pur¬ 
pose of an advertising club to clean out the untruthful in ad¬ 
vertising. By actively pursuing its vigilance work it gains the 
faith and support of the community it benefits and creates greater 
confidence in advertising. The Advertising Club of St. Louis 
was one of the first clubs to form a Better Business Bureau. It 
is now more than six years old and has a proud record of achieve¬ 
ment. An analysis of bureau operations in 1922 shows that 
1,432 files were opened, of which 668 pertained to the merchandise 


department and 426 to the financial department. In the financial 
department last year 409 new investigations were started, of 
which forty-two cases were made for the prosecution, four actual 
prosecutions being instituted, with one conviction. Inquiries 
handled numbered 2,355. In the merchandise department, 708 
investigations were made, thirty-two of which required prosecu¬ 
tion, or more submitted to prosecuting officials. There was one 
actual prosecution. Thirteen special advertising and sales pro¬ 
motion schemes were investigated. The bureau received 70,717 
lines of publicity in local and outside newspapers and business 
publications in 1922. This is an indication of the development 
of truth in advertising in St. Louis. 

Third. Educational Work. During the past year eight classes, 
under direction of the executive secretary of the Club and a 
specially appointed educational secretary, were carried out to 
successful completion. A total enrollment of approximately 435 
persons participated. Members of the club were invited to take 
the course, paying the nominal fee of five dollars for courses of 
ten lessons and ten dollars for courses of twenty lessons. In¬ 
structors were not paid but furnished their services without 
charge. Little difficulty was experienced in getting the proper 
men to do this, as they realized they were making a contribution 
for the betterment of advertising and were providing advertising 
courses of an exceedingly high character at such a low cost that 
any young man or woman could afford to take them. The ten 
lesson courses conducted were: Advertising Copy, Production, 
the Mechanics of Advertising, Psychology of Advertising and 
Selling, Sales and Advertising Promotion Methods, Show Card 
Writing and Public Speaking; twelve-lesson course, Retail Sell¬ 
ing; twenty-lesson course, General Principles of Advertising. 

The meetings of the Advertising Club are held each Tuesday 
noon in the Ball Room of Hotel Statler. Special departmental 
and other meetings are held on other days during the week. 
Sometimes as many as ten or fifteen committee and departemntal 
meetings are held weekly in the club quarters. The big feature 
of the Tuesday program is always the speaker, but very valuable 
adjuncts to the speaker are a good presiding officer who opens 
his meeting promptly at 12:35 and as few additional announce¬ 
ments and speakers as possible unless it is a musical or theatrical 
attraction. The main speaker should be allowed to start not 
later than 12:50 so he may close his talk promptly at 1:30. Many 
advertising clubs, in my opinion, are making the mistake of 
running their meetings until a quarter to two or two o’clock, 
thus defeating in a measure the very cause for which an adver¬ 
tising club is formed—to help speed up business. Meetings that 
close at 1:30 allow an advertising man to get back in time, to 
keep in good favor with his boss, keeping criticism from being 
laid at the door of advertising clubs. 

Pursuing the above outlined policies has brought the Advertis¬ 
ing Club of St. Louis to a high position of prominence in its 
own city and everything looks set for “full steam ahead.”

ALL ABOUT ST. LOUIS 


Geography Made St. Louis a 
Manufacturing Center 

Ever since the Pilgrims put their baggage 
ashore and walked inland a little ways, looking 
for good sites on which to build homes, Ameri¬ 
can progress has been toward the west. 

Nowhere is geography a greater factor for 
success than in manufacturing. As geography 
answers the question "Where?”, so the manu¬ 
facturer wants to know where he is to find 
fuel, raw materials, labor and a market for his 
products. 

The rise of Missouri as the greatest manu¬ 
facturing State west of the Mississippi is due 
to these facts; she has abundant raw materials, 
plenty of coal, honest American labor, and 
easy transport by rail and water. At St. Louis 
26 railroads terminate, representing 80,000 miles 
of track. 

It is because the population center moves 
westward and the extra millions must be fed, 
that Missouri has become great. 

The East is dotted with big and little shops 
that must bring their raw materials all the way 
from the Middle West and then ship the finished 
product back there again to find a market. The 
workers in these shops, too, must be fed and 
clothed with goods shipped all the way from 
the West. 

Originally, these myriad shops and factories 
were built in the East because there popula¬ 
tion was most dense and trade most brisk. But 
the westward tide has changed all this. Not 
counting heavier and more bulky goods, 1,200 
cars of “package freight” leave St. Louis 
every night. 

Thanks to Uncle Sam’s help in improving the 
Mississippi, St. Louis now is virtually a sea¬ 
port for export shipments. Barges can haul a 
million tons annually. 

Standing on the great municipal docks, you 
will see men unloading coffee from Brazil, sisal 
from Yucatan, mahogany from Central Amer¬ 
ica, potash from Germany, fruit from Costa 
Rica, etc., and perhaps loading tank plates for 
the oil fields of Persia or the Dutch Indies, Iron 
pipe, shoes, stoves, motor cars, wire, rope, grain 
and meat products. 

One-twentieth of all the world’s coal is dug 
within 100 miles of St. Louis. Fuel oil is piped 
from the vast mid-continent fields, and from 
the great Mississippi dam at Keokuk comes 
cheap electric power. 

Probably 50 per cent of all our export com¬ 
merce originates in the Mississippi Valley, and 
St. Louis exporters enjoy a peculiar geographic 
proximity to Central and South America, to 
Mexico and the West Indies. 

Connected with the Gulf by many rail routes, 
as well as by the open river, St. Louis trade is 
seldom seriously affected by congestion or tie- 
ups on the North Atlantic seaboard. 


St. Louis—Seat of World’s Biggest 
Fur Trade 

The story of the State itself begins with the 
coming of the whites, who set up as fur traders 
where St. Louis now is. Pierre Laclede Liguest 
poled his barge up from New Orleans, taking 
three months to do a trip which trains now 
make in 20 hours, and founded a firm which 
later traded as far west as the Oregon coast. 

It was these hardy Missouri traders, indeed, 
who actually pushed the Hudson’s Bay Com¬ 
pany back when this British concern had ven¬ 
tured as far south as Utah. 

In those early days packs of Missouri furs 
were carried as far as Montreal for sale. In¬ 
dians, Canadians and Americans trapped all up 
the Mississippi and the Missouri, and traded 
their pelts at St. Louis for hardware, tools, 
firearms and medicines. 

The skins of the bear, the deer and the wild¬ 
cat, once so common, are now, of course, no 
longer taken in Missouri in commercial quan¬ 
tities; but trade in the pelts of smaller animals 
has multiplied a hundredfold. It is said the 
bulk of all furs produced in North America 
comes from within a radius of 600 miles of St. 
Louis; and in 1920, 1,068,000 shipments came 
into this city. 

Hardly a village in all America, where a man 
or a boy does trapping, but sends the pelts to 
St. Louis. So, famous as the town was as a 
fur-trade center in the days of Daniel Boone 
and of Lewis and Clark, the volume then was, 
oddly, insignificant compared to what it is now. 

Time was when Leipzig or the historic Rus¬ 
sian fair town of Nizhni Novgorod boasted the 
world’s biggest fur trade; now that honor goes 
to St. Louis. 

Every year raw fur is shipped here from the 
far countries of the earth—from China, Aus¬ 
tralia, Siberia and South America. 

One feature of the spring auctions is the sale 
of many sealskins, all dressed and dyed by for¬ 


eign experts employed in St. Louis—sealskins 
belonging to the United States Government, 
from the Pribilof Islands off Alaska. 

Every backwoods Missouri boy knows how to 
trap a “varmint,” to skin it, and to preserve its 
pelt; any many an energetic country lad earns 
snug sums every winter from his traps. He 
knows the old raccoon may eat a little corn, 
the muskrat may gnaw the carrots, or the 
mink kill an occasional chicken; but these petty 
thefts are nothing compared to the value of the 
pelts. 


History of Railroad Develop¬ 
ment 

St. Louis was founded long before the develop¬ 
ment of the steam railroad, and, for good topo¬ 
graphical reasons, upon the west bank of the 
river, the site selected being the first high 
rolling ground south of the junction of the Mis¬ 
souri, Mississippi, and Illinois Rivers, then the 
only means of transportation in a large part of 
the Middle West. 

The railroad development of the United States 
beginning on the Atlantic seaboard, proceeded 
generally along east and west lines, and reached 
the Mississippi, opposite St. Louis, in the early 
fifties of the last century. The lines were built 
to the river bank at right angle thereto, and 
as close to the ferry landings as possible, which 
accounts for the location of numerous yards side 
by side in East St. Louis. 

Simultaneously with the development on the 
east side, railway construction began in St. 
Louis with what is now the main line of the 
Missouri Pacific, a short section of which was 
opened for traffic in 1852. 

The West was at that time an undeveloped 
region and the business of the city was with 
the eastern part of the country; thus St. Louis 
had its railways located in another state, sepa¬ 
rated by a great river without bridges, and it 
is owing to the advantages of this physical 
and political situation that a large part of the 
subsequent transportation difficulties of the city 
are due. 

A full twenty years elapsed before the river 
was bridged, and in that time the railway termi¬ 
nals and trunk lines had taken shape upon their 
present locations. There had been many years 
of agitation for a bridge. The ferries, upon 
which the commerce of the city had to be 
handled to and from the east side, were slow 
and often interrupted by ice. 

The great genius and untiring energy of Cap¬ 
tain Eads was finally rewarded by the success¬ 
ful opening of the magnificent structure which 
bears his name, July 4, 1874. 

The bridge was accordingly located in the 
best place to serve the river interests, in a 
place where they would be least disturbed. It 
was not a good location from a railway point 
©f view, as its west end landed upon rising 
ground, necessitating the use of a tunnel to 
reach any railway connections in the city. 

Almost another twenty years elapsed before 
the great traffic crossing the Eads Bridge was 
relieved by the construction of the Merchants 
Bridge and the Merchants Bridge Terminal Rail¬ 
way. The bridge itself was formally opened 
May, 1890; but, owing to the fact that adequate 
connections had not yet been provided, it did 
not become a factor of importance in the trans¬ 
portation system of the city until the early part 
of the year 1893—after the elevated structure on 
the levee, and other important connections had 
been made on both sides of the river. 

The traffic conditions of the city and the 
necessity of additional industrial areas for de¬ 
velopment amply warranted the construction of 
this bridge at that time. The great industrial 
development of Granite City, Madison and North 
St. Louis is due directly to the construction 
of the Merchants Bridge and Terminal Railway. 
On the west side of the river the tracks of 
this company were laid for the most part in 
city streets, although it built the elevated struc¬ 
ture on the levee, but from Carr street north 
to the west approach of the bridge the tracks 
are almost wholly in public streets, prevent¬ 
ing adequate expansion along the line and lead¬ 
ing to a slow congested movement of trains. 

The mileage of the lines entering St. Louis 
and East St. Louis is 80,000, or about 30 per 
cent of the entire mileage of the United States. 
The lines not members of the Terminal Asso¬ 
ciation are, for the most part, comparatively 
short local lines aggregating less than 3,000 
miles; and with all the trunk lines members 
of the association, it is apparent that no city 
in the United States offers so good an oppor¬ 
tunity for unified control and operation of 
terminal facilities as does the St. Louis and 
East St. Louis Terminal District. 

The McKinley Bridge was completed in 1910 
to serve the electric lines of the Illinois Trac¬ 
tion System. It is believed that some consider¬ 
able use can be made of this structure for the 
carrying of freight across the river, although 


up to the present time its business has been 
almost exclusively the handling of passengers 
and express. 

The Municipal Bridge was erected m 1916. 
Its location is on practically a continuation of 
the Mill Creek Valley, the natural location for 
railways leading westwardly from St. Louis, 
and it is thus in the logical location to handle 
railway traffic, for which purpose it has a double 
track railway deck, but as yet not provided with 
adequate railway connections. 

The situation of St. Louis previously referred 
to, namely, business on one side of the river 
and freight houses on opposite side, necessarily 
led at once to the development of a transfer 
service. First, this was performed by ferry, 
in which cars were carried across, and by 
wagons and teams on the ferries. Later, when 
Eads Bridge was constructed, by teaming across, 
and at present, both by teams and motor trucks 
over that structure. Several companies are 
now engaged in this business, and it has been 
developed into an efficient operation. Several 
warehouses of substantial construction have 
been erected in various parts of the city, which 
serve as off-track stations for the handling of 
1. c. 1. shipments. A recent development is the 
use of a tractor with trailer, which affords 
economical expeditious service between the 
transfer companies’ warehouses and the freight 
houses of the railway companies. A regular 
service is maintained by these transfer agen¬ 
cies, so that shipments received in their ware¬ 
houses up to a certain hour of the day make 
outgoing freight trains of the various roads in 
the evening. This service is also largely used 
by the railroads in transfer of through 1. c. 1. 
merchandise handled between connecting lines. 

The system in effect in St. Louis has been 
favorably commented upon by experts studying 
the handling of 1. c. 1. freight in large cities. 


St. Louis—Always a Conservative 
City 

Long ago St. Louis outgrew Missouri—even 
the Mississippi Valley. Unique among western 
cities, St. Louis, with a population of some 800,- 
000, has never enjoyed or suffered a boom. An 
indefinable air of permanence, of mellow age 
and ripe judgment, a stability like that of Ant¬ 
werp or Copenhagen, is the spirit of the place— 
old, respectable, sure of her position. In 44 
years her city limits have not increased. 


St. Louis—City of Most Attrac¬ 
tive Residences 

After visiting the handsomest cities of Eu¬ 
rope, travelers have declared that St. Louis has 
the most attractive residence districts of any 
city known to them. The homes which com¬ 
pelled this praise, show elegance and comfort 
without extravagance in architecture, but with 
no sparing of money or pains in making their 
surroundings beautiful. In occupying new and 
extensive residence districts since 1890, home¬ 
builders have created many private parks, giv¬ 
ing a wide extension of the park area of the 
city. Known originally as “places,” and now 
often called “home parks,” these frequent open 
spaces of trees and flowers, often ornamented 
with fountains and statues, form centers for 
grouping homes so beautifully that the growth 
of this habit makes ours a model residence city. 


St. Louis—The People’s 
Playground 

There are no “keep off the grass” signs in 
the St. Louis parks. Instead of reserving the 
parks as highly cultivated spots to appeal alone 
to a sense of beauty, the city has made them 
both sightly and useful. They are maintained 
as big playgrounds of the people, and the public 
is permitted full freedom without rigid restric¬ 
tions. 


St. Louis—87 Per Cent American 
Born 

Though often called a “German” city, the 
total of foreign-born in St. Louis is only 13 per 
cent, as against 32 per cent in Boston, which 
“looks down” on St. Louis, and 35 per cent in 
New York. 

It has never been a town of get-rich-quick 
schemes, or “wild-cat” oil and land sharks; 
rather is there something of the conservative 
Liverpool or Manchester merchant in the de¬ 
liberate planning of its traders.

L’ENVOI 


Not from the saintly monarch 
Who gave to you your name, 
Not from the fearless Frenchmen 
Who to your shore first came. 

Not from the deeds of daring 
Wrought by the pioneer. 

Not from your past achievements 
Will your future fame appear. 

Not in thy mighty commerce 
Reaching from pole to pole. 
Not in your thousand factories 
Will your city finds its soul. 


Not in the Father of Waters 

That carries your wares to the sea,
